Luyện nghe bài hát A Dog In The Manger

Two a.m., a junction, innocence takes flight
Common has lost all function, stranded in the night
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 or care
That the rod not spared had this child, his only son and heir

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

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

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 taught him right from and beat him black and blue
Caressed the boy with his fist, the only way he knew

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

He only needed a to help him to shine
All he has is a ticket to ride on the line

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

As race by, our young prince waits, behind his cardboard shield
An Oxfam crown his head, his thumb a sword to wield
A shoddy knight of the road, the quest is underway
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 with gold and lady is kind

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