Dropkick Murphys The State Of Massachusetts Lyrics

The State Of Massachusetts Lyrics

she had excuses and she just used them 

she was the victim of unspeakable
abuses 

her husband was violent, malicious and distant 

her kids
now belong to the state of Massachusetts! 



they've been taken
away! 

they've been taken away! 



[chorus:] 

Billy was
a bright one 

tommy's off his head 

mother loved them both the
same,at least thats what she said 

i don't predict the future, i don't
care about the past 

send them both to DSS, now you had your chance 

the poison who stole your babies 

the judges took your rights 

you can have your children, or the night 



i suppose you were a
victim 

though i suspect you may have lied 

you've lost all
ambition why don't you give this thing a try 

if you can't and you fail
won't be the only loser 

these kid don't stand a chance with you in their
future! 



they've been taken away! 

they've been taken away! 




[chorus] 1x



the boys who stole your babies 

the tenants took your rides

you can have the children, or the night



[chorus] 1x
