I ran down to the park Just looking after dark For you. Stepchild I went down to the beach I wasn't out of reach Of you. Stepchild They stole it all for the cherry tree But they set free The Hate you inherited Sad Inheritance I went to our old school That teacher was so cruel To you. Stepchild He taught you the wrong thing What future did it bring To you. Stepchild Teacher doesn't know your name He can't blame The Hate you inherited Sad Inheritance You deserve the wealth of a word You deserve the wealth of a word And they say that's absurd But they don't need it, do they? I stared down at your grave What a nice thing we all gave To you. Stepchild They laid you in the ground Their theory trickled down To you. Stepchild They drove you down to a dirty death You bequeath The Hate you inherited Sad Inheritance
