One Way Ride - 13 Yr. Old Heroin Addict In T.V. Land lyrics

They say, "Come here, child, and take my hand We're off to see the people in the good wise land In an attempt to end your pain To put it all to rest Get back to understanding it's a family that's best" Rock-a-bye baby, don't be scared I'll be there in the morning to hold your hand All that is wrong, we'll try and make it right We'll search for a way to end your fight Another day has ended, never to return So many things have come and gone And all your bridges burn Yeah, all my bridges burn To the ground now, but anyway Yeah, all my bridges burn And who are all these people on this talk show They've got an hour to try to tell me how to live my life They don't know me, they don't know The extend of the pain I carry inside The freaks turn their backs on me and laugh The ratings go up, it's such a gas The queen steps forth, holds our her hand Looks me in the eyes, she smiles, she says Come here, child, let me hold your hand You're here among my people in T.V. land The attempt to end your pain, you sold your tears to us Now we go home to luxury and you to street and bust Another day has ended, never to return So many things have come and gone And all your bridges burn Yeah, all my bridges burn To the ground now, but anyway Yeah, all my bridges burn To the ground now, but anyway All my bridges burn To the ground, anyway they say to me "If you were my child, you little sh** Then this is how it would be" The shadows on the wall Hold no character to me, they think I'm weak The shadows on the wall Hold no character to me and I won't break The shadows on the wall Hold no character to me and I won't break When they say, "Come here, child Come here, child" They say, "Hey there, child, did we make you a man? Did we give you some reason, make you finally understand? In attempt to end your pain, put it all to rest Get back to understanding it's a family that's best" Rock-a-bye baby, don't be scared I'll be there in the morning to hold your hand And all that is wrong, we'll try to make it right We'll search for a way to end your fight Another day has ended, never to return So many things have come and gone And all your bridges burn Yeah, all my bridges burn To the ground now, but anyway Yeah, all my bridges burn To the ground now, but anyway All my bridges burn To the ground now, but anyway All my bridges burn To the ground now, but anyway
