lyrics

I got the phonecall
and it was just a Saturday
and I had to put aside
my lukewarm t.v. tray
My little sister
just had a little incident
and it seems to have
happened without her consent.

Take out that look in your eyes
I don’t like what I see
I’d rather just be on my own.
What I want you cannot provide
I said stop scaring me
I’d rather you just leave me alone
Now I want you to take me home.

I learned the details
that they just had a little fight
and he had failed to respect all her
little rights.
He had forced himself upon her body hard
And as I listened stunned
all I could think was oh my God.

I’m in the county jail
It’s time that I confess
But I sit here with a smile
not the least depressed
For since that man stole the goodness
from my sister’s life
Well, I cut his hands off with
my daddy’s carving knife.
