Hard Luck Kid

Seems to me you were snake-bitten from day one
 Absent somehow when they shot off the right from the wrong gun
 Always swimming in the deep end of your troubled pool
 Opted for that asphalt as your chosen school
 Then you got shipped off to DYS
 Threw your life into a great big mess
 But you could care less.
 It's a tale of increasing woe
 You know how the story goes
 Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
 Once a shine in your mother's eyes
 Failed attempts now make her cry
 Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
 When will you ever learn?
 From Southie to Walpole you went from small to bigger crime
 Hanging out with cross colors crews, promoted to full time
 Kept up in step, upped your rep, by pulling those hold-up jobs
 Now you find yourself locked up with Cedar Junction mobs
 Murphy boy is locked down in the can
 Probably not part of the big plan
 Does he understand?
 It's a tale of increasing woe
 You know how the story goes
 Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
 Once a shine in your mother's eyes
 Failed attempts now make her cry
 Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
 When will you ever learn?
 And I heard you just broke free from institution
 Will you turn on to the right path for solution?
 Cause I know inside there lies one more shot
 Do not be the guy redemption had forgot about, left behind, got passed over by a criminal mind
 Back to wrong, same old song
 Pete wake up, get back on top, while you still own some hope
 It's a tale of increasing woe
 You know how the story goes
 Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
 Once a shine in your mother's eyes
 Failed attempts now make her cry
 Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
 When will you ever learn?
