How Long Lyrics - Teen Idols

How long, how long, how long, 

How long, please tell me, how long 

'Til you tell me that he's gone, how long 

Too many time I have seen your cryin' eyes 

While you're standing there with him 

As your future's growing dim 

You're afraid, 

Though you're trying to be strong 

It's a challenge to be brave 

When he's oblivious to the pain 

And it won't be very long 

'Til you crumble from the strain 

(It's wrong) 

Indications on your arm 

Tell the story of the harm 

Of your father's power trip 

All your bruises fit his grip 

It's a crime 

But you think that it's all your fault 

'Cause it happens all the time 

"You're an idiot", "Be a man" 

Now you wanna shut his mouth 

Feel the shotgun in your hand 

(You can)
