Dropkick Murphys - The State Of Massachusetts lyrics

She had excuses and she chose to use them

She was the victim of unspeakable abuses

Her husband was violent, malicious and distant

Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts

They've been taken away

They've been taken away

Billy was a bright one, Tommy's off his head

Mother loved them both the same, at least thats what she said

I don't predict the future I don't care about the past

Send them both to DSS, now you have had your chance

The poison stole babies

The judges took your rights

You can have your children or the night

I suppose you've been a victim, I suspect you may have lied

If You've lost all ambition, won't you give this thing a try

If you can't and you fail you won't be the only loser

These kid don't stand a chance with you in their future!

They've been taken away!

They've been taken away!

Billy was a bright one, Tommy's off his head

Mother loved them both the same, at least thats what she said

I don't predict the future I don't care about the past

Send them both to DSS, now you have had your chance

The poison stole babies

The judges took your rights

You can have your children or the night

Billy was a bright one, Tommy's off his head

Mother loved them both the same, at least thats what she said

I don't predict the future I don't care about the past

Send them both to DSS, now you have had your chance

The poison stole babies

The judges took your rights

You can have your children or the night
