lyrics

My mama is a Pauper
and my daddy's a coward
my sister is an angel
and my brother is the devil

and i will kill the country that made us this way.

she told me stories
of the will to never bleed

he said his whispers
like a man in heat.

My mama is a Pauper
and my daddy's a coward
my sister is an angel
and i,
i'm the devil.

and i will kill the country that made us this way.
