Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

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

The lights have pulled him southward, magnets in his mind
Where the are paved with 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 just like him, seeking love they've never found
No and home to call his own, our fox has run to ground
His taught him right from wrong and beat him black and blue
Caressed the boy with his clenched fist, the way he knew

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

He only needed a family to him to shine
All he has is a to ride on the poverty line

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

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

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

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

He'll survive on his own, for he's no son of mine
All he has is a ticket to on the poverty line
