(Chorus). He's just a drunk. An old salty dog. Stagger, you drink and then fall. Unaware that your life is held up against the wall. Aching, just dying inside.
Neponset neighborhood landscape. You loomed larger than most. Owned scholastic and academic achievements. All which you did boast. The world was in the palm of your hand.
Was a man of meek demeanor. Now he's over the edge. Insincerities and deceit. Called off any old pledge. Saying one thing, doing another. Unacceptable, you're not his brother.
All about control, that's the plan. Hitting her makes you feel like a man. It's a sick and twisted brutal game. Won't stay silent to this abusive shame.
