Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

Two a.m., a southbound junction, innocence flight
Common sense has lost all function, in the night
The albatross has flown the nest, breaking family ties
He recalls his mother with her hands held to her eyes
His alcoholic was too drunk to know or care
That the rod not spared had spoiled this child, his son and heir

The lights have pulled him southward, magnets in his mind
Where the streets are paved gold and lady luck is kind

The boy only some attention, he's wasting our time
He'll survive on his own, for he's no son of mine

There's thousands more like him, seeking love they've never found
No hearth and home to call his own, our fox has run to
His father taught him right from wrong and him black and blue
the boy with his clenched fist, the only way he knew

He never went to school that much 'cause he not disguise
The weals and bruises on his legs, the around his eyes

He only needed a to help him to shine
All he has is a ticket to ride on the poverty

He stirs from his gin and coma
To find while he slept someone has him over
His are all missing or strewn 'cross the floor
And he can't quite recall the events of the evening

As cars race by, our prince waits, behind his cardboard shield
An Oxfam crown upon his head, his thumb a to wield
A shoddy knight of the road, the quest is underway
by glowing street lights in the night, and smoke by day

The city have pulled him southward, magnets in his mind
Where the streets are paved with gold and lady luck is

The boy only wants some attention, he's wasting our
He only needed a to help him to shine

He'll never survive on his own, for no son of mine
All he has is a ticket to on the poverty line
