Frankie Teardrop

(album: Suicide - 1977)

Frankie Teardrop
Twenty year old Frankie
He's married, he's got a kid
And he's working in a factory
He's working from seven to five
He's just trying to survive
Well, let's hear it for Frankie
Frankie, Frankie

But Frankie can't make it
'Cause things are just too hard
Frankie can't make enough money
Frankie can't buy enough food
And Frankie's getting evicted
Oh, let's hear it for Frankie
Oh, Frankie, Frankie
Oh, Frankie, Frankie

Frankie is so desperate
He's gonna kill his wife and kids
Frankie's gonna kill his kid
Frankie picked up a gun
Pointed at the six month old kid in the crib
Oh, Frankie
Frankie looked at his wife
Shot her

Oh, what have I done?
Let's hear it for Frankie
Frankie Teardrop
Frankie put the gun to his head, mmm, yeah
Frankie's dead

Frankie

In hell
Frankie's lying in hell

Come on, get up
We're all Frankies
We're all lying in hell
Come on, get up, come on
