Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

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

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

The boy only wants some attention, wasting our time
He'll never survive on his own, for no son of mine

There's thousands more just like him, seeking love they've found
No and home to call his own, our fox has run to ground
His father him right from wrong and beat him black and blue
Caressed the boy with his fist, the only way he knew

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

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

He from his gin and Temazapam coma
To find he slept someone has done him over
His things are all missing or strewn the floor
And he can't quite the events of the evening before

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

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

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

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