My daddy ex-Marine

First memory of my brother, Leon

I was only three

He threw me on the table

Forced himself inside of me
All the kids stood 'round

As I descended into hell

When I told my daddy 'bout it

I wish I could forget that night
B F#
The way the cards all fell

The deck was stacked against me

And I played my part so well
Three days on the party
B F#
In a drunken revelry
C# F#
Shirley Ann said Chuck had plans
B F#
To lure my kids from me
B F#
Lure my kids from me
C# F#
We stuck him with a dagger
C# F#
And we beat him 'round the head
C# F#
I unleashed all my anger
B C#
And I didn't stop when he was dead

They set me up to take the fall
B F#
I went down willingly

To those that I have harmed

And so awaken to themselves

And to all peoples of this world
