I used to have the greatest
Family I know
We really loved each other
It wasnt just for show
My daddy had a white face
My mommy had white skin
Sister and brother, why so dark?
Some secret kept within
Mary, yes has the image of both
Thomas more like Mom
What is it with Claire?
Something went so wrong
No, your not just tan, they said
My arms and legs so brown
Why is it your face is oval and long?
And mine small and round?
Poor, poor baby
You dont belong
The perfect life
And childhood, Gone!
Daddy and Mommy
They dont love each other
She left him again
For some other
Mary run away with him.
Mary go, get married
Leave me and brother so alone
Drop the hands you carried
Thomas seems so different now
Whats that in your hand?
Move in with your smoking friends
Alone in a foreign land
Look, its my mommy
And her new Mexican
Ride away to be with him
Slap away my hands
Daddy, Daddy
Why so weak?
Open your eyes!
Cant you see?
I live far away now
From sister, brother, and my dad
Must wait till weekends and holidays
To see the family I used to have
Poor, poor baby
You dont belong
The perfect life
And childhood, Gone!
