Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Frankie Teardrop
Twenty year old Frankie
He's married, he's got a kid
And he's workin' in a factory
He's workin' from seven to five
He's just tryin' to survive
Well, let's hear it for Frankie
Frankie, Frankie
[Verse 2]
But Frankie can't make it
'Cause things are just too hard
Frankie can't make enough money
Frankie can't buy enough food
And Frankie's gettin' evicted
Oh, let's hear it for Frankie
Oh, Frankie, Frankie
Oh, Frankie, Frankie
[Verse 3]
Frankie is so desperate
He's gonna kill his wife and kids
Frankie's gonna kill his kid
Frankie picked up a gun
Pointed at the six month old kid in the crib
Oh, Frankie
Frankie looked at his wife
Shot her
[Verse 4]
Oh, what have I done?
Let's hear it for Frankie
Frankie Teardrop
Frankie put the gun to his head, mmm, yeah
Frankie's dead
[Verse 5]
Frankie
[Verse 6]
In hell
Frankie's lyin' in hell
[Verse 7]
Come on, get up
We're all Frankies
We're all lyin' in hell
Come on, get up, come on
