He wakes up has a drink or two He has two more to follow suit By 12 he's falling down the stairs By 1 he's claiming no one cares He struggles to iron his clothes He said that he'd be out till god who knows And his badge is fixed to his left arm He stinks of drink yet he's still calm What a way to live your life my father Each drink it drowns your son and daughter And I know that it hurt But you didn't have to go and do your worst And I wanna shout And I wanna scream until my walls come tumbling down Onto what you've done To your son He wakes again and blows off work He looks at me and gives a smirk It's a smirk I'll never see again The drink it's stolen my best friend And you always said you couldn't think So is that why you chose the drink Or was it he that came to you He touched your heart your lips turned blue And I know that it hurt But you didn't have to go and do your worst And I wanna shout And I wanna scream until my walls come tumbling down Onto what you've done To your son But I'm still your son
