Father's Son

In the glare of a neon sign
 She laid her body down
 The damned walked in beside her
 And he laid his money down
 He said don't try to scream now
 But I want this one to hurt
 And tonight my pretty one
 I'm gonna get my money's worth
 He said they'd never listen,
 She said they'd never understand
 That I don't do this for pleasure,
 I just do it cuz I can
 I swear I didn't want to,
 and I swear I didn't know
 That things like this could happen, to a 17-year old
 And I've bundled up all of these fears inside
 And I've bottled up all of this pain
 And no one or nothing can take this away
 But I won't let it happen again
 Never again
 ♪
 In the haze of a smoky room
 He chokes that bottle down
 It's been a month since he saw her face
 Underneath the blood stained gown
 He thinks about that little girl
 And the one he has at home
 And wonders what if that was my little girl
 Walking down that road alone
 And I've bundled up all these fears inside
 And I've bottled up all of this pain
 And no one or nothing can take this away
 But I won't let it happen again
 Never again
 Never again, no
 ♪
 Maybe I'm just crazy or the devil got inside
 But either way my soul is gone,
 And I'll end this all tonight
 The one hand throws the whiskey,
 and the other throws the gun
 As he cries out to the heavens
 I am not my father's son
 And I've bundled up all these fears inside
 And I've bottled up all of this pain
 And no one or nothing can take this away
 But I won't let it happen again
 Never again
 Never again, no
