Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

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

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

The boy only some 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 hearth and to call his own, our fox has run to ground
His father taught him right from wrong and him black and blue
Caressed the boy his clenched fist, the only way he knew

He went to school that much 'cause he could not disguise
The and bruises on his legs, the rings around his eyes

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

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

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

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

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

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