Spellman Pellerin beats his wife
And says hey bitch give the dog a bone
Don't say a word and don't think a thought
'Cause hell is here in our home
She cooks potatoes and cooks him rice
And dreads moments when he's home
Why does she stay why don't she go
And leave the bastard alone
She gets meaner when she should be kinder
She gets weaker when she should be stronger
She gets colder when she should be warmer
She gets older when she should be younger
Thats the way it goes
Amy Pellerin hides her shame
And says Lord I bear my burdon proud
I keep in' my words and keep in my thoughts
A secret lusting to shout
How life is cruel life is hard
My mom and dad used to say
The Lord helps those who help themselves
And I'm tired of living this way
I get meaner when I should be kinder
I get weaker when I should be stronger
I get colder when I should be warmer
I get older when I should be younger
Thats the way it goes
Nare a moment's peace
Deprived of peaceful sleep
A heart thats made of tin
Can't comprehend no sin
Here comes his hairy fist again
Whoah whoahhh whoahhhh
Whoah whoahhh whoahhhh
Spellman Pellerin falls alseep in his chair
A quarter after two
His armpits smell and his home sweet hell
Are somehting you gotta get used to
Amy Pellerin smiles these days
She got the courage to split
Sometimes you gotta stand up for yourself
When you can't take anymomre shit
You get stronger when you once were weaker
You get kinder when you once were meaner
You get warmer when you once were colder
You get younger when you once were older
You get stronger when you once were weaker
You get kinder when you once were meaner
You get warmer when you once were colder
You get younger when you once were older
Thats the way it goes
