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?
