Loading...

[intro + spoken]
oh hey, i just got+ i was just, uh, gonna tell you that i just, uh, i just got no one to talk to really

[verse 1]
father youngblood took the children down
to the water with the cross and the bible
they were taught to pray
but they left their hands up high

[verse 2]
grandma was young when the baby came and
she was locked up in a white room raining
the nuns held the key while they made her sign her name
they took my daddy away

[chorus]
my father’s blood is mine
his story beats inside me
and now i share it herе with you
yeah, he’s a child of the govеrnment
[break]

[verse 3]
mixed up the bloodline, lost to his people
broken and cursed, wrapped him in evil
smile for the priest now, god save the banknote
this is a song about a child of the government

[verse 4]
cuts and bruises
drugs and alcoholic
i just saw my father and he fell down
now he’s empty calling
hands in ring, he’s all in
toothless fighter, makes me cry
yeah he’s a child of the government

[chorus]
my father’s blood is mine
his story beats inside me
and now i share it here with you
yeah, he’s a child of the government
(yeah, he’s a child of the government)
(yeah he’s a child)
yeah, he’s a child of the government
[bridge]
i won’t wear a cross
i won’t say his name
i won’t kneel down in dirty water
i won’t pray lies and i’ve been baptized
what doesn’t k!ll you makes you a monster

[outro + spoken]
there’s a lot of things that the government blacked out, but you know, like, i mean, no matter what happened, i’m just, you know, i’m really grateful for you in my life, ’cause, it’s been difficult. um, and i guess i pass a lot of that onto you, and, uh, you know, uh, you know we’re doing the best we can, and life’s awesome
