You or 1972


 

Behind metal bars

You ruined your chance

And forgot that you left deep scars

To a child that just wanted to enhance

 

But he had no one

Not even a summer romance

 

So he took the route of education

One parent spun out

His thought were drugs run in that generation

 

It must be something about 1972

Or the month you were born

Then again, maybe its just you.
