The State Of Massachusetts
She had excuses and she chose to use them
She was the victim of unspeakable abuses
Her husband was violent, malicious and distant
Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts
They've been taken away
Betty was a bright one, Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same, at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance
The poison who stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children for tonight
I suppose you were a victim, I suspect you may have lied
You've lost all ambition, why don't you give this thing a try
If you can't and you fail you won't be the only loser
These kids don't stand a chance with you in their future
They've been taken away
Betty was a bright one, Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same, at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance
The poison who stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children for tonight
Betty was a bright one, Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same, at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance
The poison who stole your babies
The judges took your rights

El estado de Massachusetts
Tenía excusas y eligió usarlas
Ella fue víctima de abusos indescriptibles
Su marido era violento, malicioso y distante
Sus hijos ahora pertenecen al estado de Massachusetts
Se los han llevado
Betty era brillante, Tommy está fuera de su cabeza
Mamá los amaba a los dos igual, al menos eso es lo que dijo
No predigo el futuro, no me importa el pasado
Envíalos a los dos a DSS, ahora que has tenido tu oportunidad
El veneno que robó a tus bebés
Los jueces tomaron sus derechos
Puedes tener a tus hijos esta noche
Supongo que fue una víctima, sospecho que pudo haber mentido
Has perdido toda ambición, ¿por qué no lo intentas?
Si no puedes y fallas no serás el único perdedor
Estos chicos no tienen ninguna oportunidad contigo en su futuro
Se los han llevado
Betty era brillante, Tommy está fuera de su cabeza
Mamá los amaba a los dos igual, al menos eso es lo que dijo
No predigo el futuro, no me importa el pasado
Envíalos a los dos a DSS, ahora que has tenido tu oportunidad
El veneno que robó a tus bebés
Los jueces tomaron sus derechos
Puedes tener a tus hijos esta noche
Betty era brillante, Tommy está fuera de su cabeza
Mamá los amaba a los dos igual, al menos eso es lo que dijo
No predigo el futuro, no me importa el pasado
Envíalos a los dos a DSS, ahora que has tenido tu oportunidad
El veneno que robó a tus bebés
Los jueces tomaron sus derechos
Puedes tener a tus hijos esta noche
