you were a violent drunk but now your dead and gone

you were ruining my life the damage had been caused

on the day of your funeral my life was reborn



the first time i saw you i could sense bad luck

it was eleven a.m. as you were drinking on my couch

and then you moved in like a terrential rain storm

you had nowhere to go but i knew where you were goin'



you smiled when i was home but you abused when i was gone

you hit my younger brothers and then you'd taunt me

and when i would confront you you'd say it was a lie

well i was at your funeral happy that you died



dead and gone



that night in the kitchen i trashed my house

there was a fist fight and i threw you out

and you were loaded with no place to go

so you passed out and blacked out in the snow

we got a phone call saying that you were dead

all the shit you put me through raced through my head

you died on a dirty motel floor

now you can't make me suffer anymore



do you see what i see

you were a violent drunk

you were ruining my life

the damage you have caused

on the day of your funeral

my life was reborn
