Daddy, where'd you go?
I saw you when i was sneakin' downstairs last night,
Saw you and mommy get in a huge fight,
Saw you smack her with a bottle with all your might,
then i saw you run out the door like a blind man in fright,
Where'd you go?


Daddy, where'd you go?
Haven't seen u home in three days,
we need your paycheck, to keep the IRS away,
we need this home, to keep the bad filth away,
we need your love, to keep the bad men away,
Daddy, where'd you go?

Daddy, where'd you go?
It's been 2 years, since i've seen your face,
Mommy has to whore herself out, all over the place,
She comes home bruised and beat up, like Maurice after a race,
And we're runnin' low on money, like a hobo on a date.
Daddy, where'd you go?

Daddy, where'd you go?
Startin' to hate life, i really see no choice
We're practically in the gutter,and constantly hear the landlord's voice,
The razor blades my new friend, hot crimson runnin' down my poise,
Everythings goin' dark, and all I hear is your voice,
Goin' up above where the angels rejoice,
Daddy, where'd you go?
