Lament For Lester Cousins

 

Lament For Lester Cousins

(アルバム: Modern Pain - 1995)


Lester Cousins left his brothers on a work truck filled with others
'Cause his father left his mother years ago
Well, Lester's mother took in lovers to feed and clothe his younger brothers
So at thirteen years, our Lester chose to go

Men introduced him to hard labour, moving earth and stacking hay
Were all the options that were open to the boy
And the same men showed our Lester Lady Luck's appeal and blessed her
With a trusting young disciple to enjoy

With the gambling came the drinking and the cocaine and the sinking
That accompanies a man who's falling down
And pretty soon the fighting and the whoring every night
An' pills and losing left his spirit on the ground

Well, there comes a time when even hardened men need to believe in
Something more and look within and be afraid
When a particularly rough night took his friend in one more knife fight
For the first time in his hard life, Lester prayed

Lester now, Lester now, keep it together
We all want to see you succeed
Lester now, Lester now, hold it together
'Cause your goodness is what the world needs
Lester now, Lester now, keep it together
And don't lose that spirit of yours
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the weight of the world at your door

Well, God led Lester to a lady who was finally worth the wait
Bought a ring and changed his ways and settled down
And he farmed his forty acres, raised a daughter, loved his Maker
Loved his wife and earned respect all through the town

Hard at work and clean and sober fifteen years come this October
All the vices of his past had disappeared
Very little did he know then, that the young, out of control men
That his mother'd learned to dread would reappear

Well, his life and home were shattered and his wife and daughter battered
When the kind he knew so well came back around
An incontainable aggression induced Lester to regress and
Coldly murder those who'd raped the love he'd found

It didn't take them long to find him or convict him or confine him
To a cell block full of wounded prisoner doom
'Cause despite his mother's will, her Lester Cousins was a killer now
Who'd never live to leave the jailer's tomb

Lester now, Lester now, keep it together
We all want to see you succeed
Lester now, Lester now, hold it together
'Cause your goodness is what the world needs
Lester now, Lester now, keep it together
And don't lose that spirit of yours
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the fate of the world on the floor
And for the sake of us all, Lester, try not to fall with the hate of the world as your whore
