Lyrics Fair Shot - Slaughter Beach, Dog

Under the sun I hear
My sister in the street
Call out to me
They pulled the car by close
So she could see
Her family

The stupid kid won't eat
Won't speak or look at me
He asks for you
He never did quite what
You told him to

Now all the day our hairs turn gray
Earth moves painfully slow
We all get one fair shot
But I think that I forgot
If mine came and went long ago

And in your room old boxes
Buckle in the heat
The walls are bare
I never was sure what
You did in there

Today the kid's so mean I
Stay out of his way
He hates to lose
I think he saw that
Photograph of you
On the news

I'd just stepped in from work
And he's got blood all down his shirt
He's standing across from me
And he says 'you've been so very nice
But you won't bear this burden twice
