He was their precious. He was their prodigal son He grew up hearing "You're such a fortunate one No need to think or wonder what you're all about Your mommy and your daddy have it all planned out." Then came the one day when he was conscious and grown He came to realize he had no life of his own And when he dared to try to walk down his own road What he thought was home, he saw it all explode (So where'd he go?) Every time they run from you there's someone else they're running to? Where they running to? Rattle your saber and watch them flee Smother them with your hypocrisy Rattle their cages til they break free Suffer your children come unto me She was his princess. She was his one shining light He was her hero. Daddy had everything right The fairest of the fair, so cultured and refined Til she brought home a young man of "another kind" He wouldn't have it. "Abomination", he said She said "I love him!". He said "I'd rather be dead!" And as she turned away in burning tears said he: "No dirty n***a lover could have come from me!" She was their angel. She was their number one love A gift from Jesus, sent down from heaven above Sent off to Catholic school and always earned straight A's And by the will of God not set in sinful ways Then came the day she came home with something inside The gates of vengeance unlocked and flew open wide And running from their anger she could hear them yell: "You filthy, little who*e! You both will burn in hell!" Rattle your saber and watch them flee Smother them with your hypocrisy Rattle their cages til they break free Suffer your children come unto me Suppress their nature until they see That you've become the real enemy Pa** down your rage at what they can't be Suffer your children come unto me
