| Seems to me you were snake-bitten from day one
|
| Absent somehow when they shot off the right from the wrong gun
|
| Always swimming in the deep end of your troubled pool
|
| Opted for that asphalt as your chosen school
|
| Then you got shipped off to DYS
|
| Threw your life into a great big mess
|
| But you could care less
|
| It’s a tale of increasing woe
|
| You know how the story goes
|
| Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
|
| Once a shine in your mother’s eyes
|
| Failed attempts now make her cry
|
| Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
|
| When will you ever learn?
|
| From Southie to Walpole you went from small to bigger crime
|
| Hanging out with cross colors crews, promoted to full time
|
| Kept up in step, upped your rep, by pulling those hold-up jobs
|
| Now you find yourself locked up with Cedar Junction mobs
|
| Murphy boy is locked down in the can
|
| Probably not part of the big plan
|
| Does he understand?
|
| It’s a tale of increasing woe
|
| You know how the story goes
|
| Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
|
| Once a shine in your mother’s eyes
|
| Failed attempts now make her cry
|
| Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
|
| When will you ever learn?
|
| And I heard you just broke free from institution
|
| Will you turn on to the right path for solution?
|
| Cause I know inside there lies one more shot
|
| Do not be the guy redemption had forgot about, left behind, got passed over by
|
| a criminal mind
|
| Back to wrong, same old song
|
| Pete wake up, get back on top, while you still own some hope
|
| It’s a tale of increasing woe
|
| You know how the story goes
|
| Hard Luck Kid has us all asking, why?
|
| Once a shine in your mother’s eyes
|
| Failed attempts now make her cry
|
| Hard Luck Kid when will you ever learn?
|
| When will you ever learn? |
