Oh, Bastard
03:23

|
Oh my god, look at that soldier there.
He's so sick of them always thanking him.
You see, he didn't do shit out there in the west of Berlin, no.
But he met a girl named Sophie.
Oh no, he had a girl back home,
As luck would have it, Sophie got knocked up, baby.
Now he's sending her money at least twice a year.
And she's spending that money on diamonds and pearls,
Just leaving that baby to rot and fend for himself.
No one loved that bastard, so he ain't got no love to give.
Oh my god, he grew into a fine young boy,
Just a quiet boy, no, he didn't say much.
He just held everything in; just held that bottled rage in,
And no one saw what was coming next.
It's cruel. It's irresponsibly so -- yet somehow -- still so predictable.
Oh no, that no one loved that bastard, so he still ain't got no love to give.
Sophie died young and beautiful, just like she would have wanted to.
That bastard never went to the funeral.
Not that she'd even care.
Oh, daddy died fat and lazy; completely content with his life,
Killed in his sleep by bastard.
Never learned to love.
Poor bastard's living out of hotel rooms.
Poor bastard's always on the run.
Poor bastard's best friend was a shotgun;
When barrel meets tongue you are sure to have fun.
