Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

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

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

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

There's thousands more just like him, seeking love they've never
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 clenched fist, the only way he

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

He only needed a family to help him to
All he has is a ticket to on the poverty line

He stirs his gin and Temazapam coma
To find while he slept has done him over
His things are all missing or strewn the floor
And he can't recall 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 lights in the night, and smoke by day

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

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

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