World's Best Dad

(album: Rev - 1994)

They tell you there were better days
Remember through the haze
This is the only life you've ever known
They sigh and talk about fist fights
When you could go to sleep at night
Without avengers tearing out your wishbone

You pray to God and wonder just who's up there
What kind of father would leave his kids alone?
In a world where you're lucky if your mom cares
Hordes of people call the streets their home

They tell you there were better days
Remember through the haze
This is the only life you've ever known
They sigh and talk about fist fights
When you could go to sleep at night
Without avengers tearing out your wishbone

You pray to God and wonder just who's up there
What kind of father would leave his kids alone?
In a world where you're lucky if your mom cares
Hordes of people call the streets their home

Living in that memory, don't understand what they see
So they pay cops to make it yesterday
You can't push back the hands of time, you want to know and keep on trying
Do your best to stay out of their way

You pray to God and wonder just who's up there
What kind of father would leave his kids alone?
In a world where you're lucky if your mom cares
Hordes of people call the streets their home
