The State Of Massachusetts

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 that's what she said
 I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
 Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance
 The poison who stole your 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
 You've lost all ambition, why don't you give this thing a try
 If you can't and you fail you won't be the only loser
 These kids don't stand a chance with you in their future
 They've been taken away (They've been taken away)
