hunger drives me
it's got me by the rails
I let it wreck me
time and time again

I decided
to never write again
I don't know
what happened

Dad, I broke my promise to you,
if you're wondering where I've been
thought I knew what I was doing
but I was wrong again

I understand, son
I understand, son
I understand

the fairer gender
they always turn my head
from sheer embarassment
I'm nearly dead

Dad, I broke my promise to you,
if you're wondering where I've been
thought I knew what I was doing
but I was wrong again

I understand, son
I understand, son
I understand
