Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

Two a.m., a junction, innocence takes flight
Common sense has all function, stranded in the night
The albatross has flown the nest, breaking family ties
He recalls his mother weeping with her hands held to her
His alcoholic 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 some attention, wasting our time
never survive on his own, for he's no son of mine

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

He never went to school that much 'cause he 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 ticket to on the poverty line

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

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

The city lights 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 only needed a family to help him to

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