Lyrics

Mama never taught me how to dream
She was busy lost in her own scheme
Papa's bottle was his only tool
We just learned to break all the rules

Granny's wisdom buried in her sighs
Unkept secrets hidden in her eyes
Grandad preached but soon forgot
In a cycle we were caught

Generations unlearned lost in the blues
Old pain handed down to use and abuse
No one's left to teach us something new
We just sing in sorrows aching hue

Brother's fists became our only friends
Bruises mending with no amends
School was just a place to hide
From a destiny we couldn't decide

Education's light never shone our way
In a world where shadows led astray
Like a song without a name
Drowning in a faceless game

Generations unlearned lost in the blues
Old pain handed down to use and abuse
No one's left to teach us something new
We just sing in sorrows aching hue
