Mom and Dad

Mama gave her camera to her little star All she gets is pictures of hotels & bars No Big Ben, No Statue of Liberty Loose women and one-night stands Kinda wish I wasn't living in other people's hands No control, no lack of shit for free But I was born in the wrong place And at the wrong time But I don't know why I never spoke up, no I never spoke up Dad gave his son some good advice But his son's in bed 'cause he's been up all night Even too tired for another shot and a beer Shaky days & incredible nights Never going down without a fight Looks like I'm all booked up next year But I was laying my soul down For the wrong price For the very first time of my life My life Oh, oh Mama gave her camera to her little star All she gets is pictures of hotels & bars No Big Ben, No Statue of Liberty Loose women and one-night stands I kinda wish I wasn't living in other people's hands No control, no lack of shit for free But I was born in the wrong place And at the wrong time But I don't know why I never spoke up, no I never spoke up
