Land Of The Free - Tracey Curtis
[Verse 1]
B
She was born and rejected
By her mother then neglected
E
She bullied laughed at used and hated
Ridiculed and impregnated
B
Had a boy at just fourteen
He was taken never seen
E
Again by her it just goes on
F#
Does he know who he comes from?
[Chorus]
E
You make it
B
You break it
F#
And when it's too late to fix it
E
You kill it
D#m7 E F#
This is the civilised Land of the Free
[Verse 2]
B
In her angry adult mind
It's the child who wants a smile
E
And it's that child who killed
And eventually stands trial
B
And it's that child they want to die
An eye for an eye
E
And she dies just as she lived
F#
Bullied, laughed at, used and hated
[Chorus]
E
You make it
B
You break it
F#
And when it's too late to fix it
E
You kill it
