Survivor Lyrics - Fifteen

Your daddy beat you up 

Your daddy beat you down 

Your daddy put your mama in the hospital 

Your daddy left town...he broke your heart 

Your mama drank too much 

Your mama hit you in the face 

You had to make excuses for the bruises to all your friends 

You had to live in disgrace...She broke your heart 

Daddy came in your room at night 

He took whatever he want 

Your daddy was your first time 

And your mama never tried to stop him...they 

broke your heart 

My mama beat me up 

My mama beat me down 

My brother was a rapist 

My family threw me out... they broke my heart 

America is the place where the kids got broken hearts 

America is the place where the kids got twisted minds 

bent on self destruction 

America is the place where the kids got their wills broken 

into and broken in two 

America is the place where the kids got broken hearts 

And the adults say hish, keep it down now, 

voices carry 

They say, don't tell anyone, don't tell em 

anything 

Don't tell 'em what went on, don't tell 'em 

what really happened 

Don't tell anyone, don't tell 'em anything 

They won't believe you 'cause it's all your fault 

Hush 

I made a bag out of a piece of cloth 

I made a wish and I wrote it down on a piece of paper 

I put th epaper in the bag and I wished with all 

my heart 

I said, please please deliver me; low and behold it 

became reality 

So I can say today 

I refuse to believe that god created me to be 

tortured 

I refuse to believe the earth created me to be 

abandoned 

I refuse to believe that god created me to be 

neglected 

I refuse to believe the Earth created me to be 

abused 

I picked up the pieces of my broken heart off of 

the dirty boulevard 

I found a punk rock kid who had a needle and 

some leather string 

I made a wish and I said it, again and again I took 

the needle and threaded it 

I sewed my broken heart back together again 

I got family now, sew my broken heart back together again 

I got a wife I love, sew my broken heart back together again 

I got two daughters I love, sew my broken heart back together again 

I got a family now 

Who ever you are, whatever you do, where ever 

you are you don't deserve Abuse 

Hush
