Blood

[Verse 1]

A kid got stuck on a sliver of silver

Watched in the street by a gang of builders

Blood running down into the gutter

Next kid's caught climbing out the window

Policemen switched off his Nintendo

Mom couldn't do anything but stutter

Now the first kid's laid out on a stretcher

Red marks scrawled on a hooded sweater

Stand back for the defibrillator

And the second kid's steady four walls pacing

He's thinking about the crime and the time he's facing

Mom just said, "I'll see you later

And I still love you

You'll always be my little soldier

I still love you

Whatever, whatever, whatever you do"

[Verse 2]

Girl stopped dead hanging out the laundry

Red G-string with the words "I'm horny"

Blood drains from her face so quickly

Mom gets home half an hour later

Kicks off her shoes to read the paper

Girl just sits there looking sickly

Mom says, "Baby, what's the matter?"

Tears fall as she begins to blabber

At that moment Daddy walks in

An atmosphere a knife could cut through

Mom says, "We know what you've been up to

I think you should pack your things, don't you?

And I still love you

Even though you fucked us over

I still love you

Whatever, whatever, whatever you do"

[Outro]

So it is, so it was, so it always will be

So it is, so it was, so it always will be

I still love you

Blood is always thicker than water

I still love you

Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
