Why Do You Have Kids? - Ron Gallo

Why do you have kids?

Why did you make children?

Falling asleep standing up on the corner

With cigarette ash falling in the stroller

Why do you have kids?

Why did you make children?

You gave all baby daddy’s money for food

To the dead-eyed street pharmaceutical dude

Accidents having accidents

Now mother like daughter, father like son

R.I.P.

next generation, goodnight, honey

You’ve got nothing to look up or forward to

Why do you have kids?

Why did you make children?

You beat your son at the grocery store

Because he cried a little when his eyes were sore

Why?

Baby runs around shoeless outside

While mama’s dressed to the junkyard nines

Feed them garbage so they stop crying

They’ll look just like you in no time

Accidents having accidents

Now mother like daughter, father like son

R.I.P.

next generation, goodnight, honey

You’ve got nothing

The kids got nothing to look up or forward to

No chance
