[bodytext] => It's one in the morning The working man drinks To forget all his problems And cease all he thinks His wife is a ***** And his son is a fool But he labors each day Though he feels like a tool They're wholly ungrateful For all that he's done So he calls the bartender And orders another one It's one in the morning The single mom cries For her burden is heavy From his blatant lies He said he would be there Then left right away Now she's stuck with his child Alone every day Her anger, it owns her While she lays and weeps And her child who listens Cries with her until she sleeps. It's one in the morning The boy is afraid Cause he's fearful for school Every single day The other kids hate him And make him feel ashamed Cause he's skinny they beat him And call him a fag He wants left alone They want to make him cry So he swallows twelve sleep pills And readies himself to die. It's one in the morning The writer debates Against all injustice In a world full of hates The Murder and Raping Racism and Greed And Abuses of Power It's all he perceives He believed in the goodness Of all humankind But this world and man's evil Has jaded his heart and mind.
