Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

Two a.m., a southbound junction, takes flight
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 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 wants some attention, wasting our time
He'll never survive on his own, for no son of mine

There's more 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
the boy with his clenched fist, the only way he knew

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

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

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

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

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

The boy only wants some attention, wasting our time
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 to ride on the poverty line
