Lyrics for Way Down The Line
Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same The world you get's the one you give away It all just happens again Way down the line There is a chain that's never broken You know the story, it's sad but true An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids The same old way his drunken father did What comes around, well, it goes around Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same The world you get's the one you give away It all just happens again Way down the line At 17, Shannon is pregnant Young as her mom when she had her Her kid is never gonna have a dad The same old way that Shannon never had What comes around, well, it goes around Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same The world you get's the one you give away It all just happens again Way down the line And all the things you learn when you're a kid You'll fuck up just like your parents did It all just happens again Way down the line And welfare moms have kids on welfare And fat parents, they have fat kids too You know it's never gonna end The same old cycle's gonna start again What comes around, well, it goes around Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same The world you get's the one you give away It all just happens again Way down the line And all the things you learn when you're a kid You'll fuck up just like your parents did It all just happens again Way down the line
