Another challenge from RT (read **** This ****)
Challenge...the in depth and deep meaning, twisted view of a pimp/drug pusher, as a metaphor for life.
GO...
He's been standing on that cliff edge
Since he picked up a pack and now he ain't turning back
Huddled in his parker coat
Stained with liquids from other peoples throats
This is business, and there's no business
without y'customers
He's a salesman and a goodun
Husband and a Father he's just feeding his children
CHORUS
What his son doesn't know
Prison's best place for his dad
Better no father at all
Than one that's bad
Come Christmas he'll get them that bike
No money's dirty when you can buy anything you like
Each job has its risks
and this is his
back of the van on his 7 year olds birthday
phones up his missus but he don't know what to say
"I've been called out tonight
Can't get the night off my boss is being tight"
He lies, he sighs
puts the phone on the hook and walks into his cell
CHORUS
What his son doesn't know
Prison's best place for his dad
Better no father at all
Than one that's bad
Simply supplying and he's trying
as much as the addicts to quit
but when this is all you're good at
Then its hard to get out of it
So tonight lying on his hard bed
he'll say happy birthday to his son, in his head
hope his son will understand somehow
but he's kidding himself, his son wants him there now
he don't want the money kid wants a Dad
and the Dad knows he's the worst kind he can have
There you go, is that another record RT?
