Daughter, Daughter (feat. Jerry Douglas)

Daughter, daughter flesh and blood

If I could rid it all I would

Every bullet that I found

Melt them down into the ground

Hopeless feeling that I can't

See what's coming round the bend

Have to keep your eyes wide open

But be blind enough to cope, and don't forget to say your prayers

Brush your teeth, and comb your hair

He was just a boy of ten

Never see his mom again

Fear and greed and fetishes

Force us all to live like this

Such a pity, such a crime

Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme

Too much dumb luck just to make it out alive for goodness sake, don't forget to say your prayers, brush your teeth, and comb your hair

Daughter, daughter, it ain't fair

To be so young and so aware

Certain things should last a while

An innocence, a simple child

Daughter, daughter I believe

That kindness kills the poison seed

One divine deed in the heart

Can blow the devil all apart

Daughter, daughter flesh and blood

If I could rid it all I would

Every bullet that I found

Melt them down into the ground
