Cousin Randy
He'd Disappear For Years, Then One Day He Would Just Show
Dad Would Buy Him Shows (Shoes?), Give Him $50 and He'd Go
He Talked About the Good Old Days of War in Vietnam
Did Two Tours of Duty With His New Love Heroin
You Knew He'd Be Covicted Before He Was Ever Tried
Did His Time in Chino, Then Folsom and Wayside
But Every Day Was Prison, Molested As a Kid
Abused By His Stepfather, Hard to Believe the Things He Did
We Call Him Cousin Randy
Couldn't Get Up in the Morning, Couldn't Get to Sleep At Night
Swore the Room Was Full of Demons, But Nothin' Was in Our Sight
No One Was Safe When Randy Came Out to Play
He Would Leave You For Dead and Then Just Walk Away
We Call Him Cousin Randy
One Time While At Grandma's, It Was Getting Kind of Late
Randy Stayed Outside 'cause His Odor Was So Great
He Walked Out the Door and I Told Him "Good Night"
He Charged Me, Grabbed My Neck and He Started Squeezing Tight
Dad and Jim and Grandpa Jumped On to His Back
He Screamed "What's So Good About It" Before He Let Up His Attack
The Neck Day, While We Were Swimming, He Tried to Drown My Sister
Laughing As She Struggled, Then He Pulled Her Up and Kissed Her
We Call Him Cousin Randy. to Us, He's Just Cousin Randy
Primo Randy
Desaparecía por años, luego un día simplemente aparecía
Papá le compraba zapatos, le daba $50 y se iba
Hablaba de los buenos tiempos de la guerra en Vietnam
Hizo dos tours de servicio con su nueva amante, la heroína
Sabías que sería condenado antes de ser juzgado
Cumplió su tiempo en Chino, luego en Folsom y Wayside
Pero cada día era una prisión, abusado de niño
Maltratado por su padrastro, difícil de creer las cosas que hacía
Lo llamamos Primo Randy
No podía levantarse por la mañana, no podía conciliar el sueño por la noche
Juraba que la habitación estaba llena de demonios, pero no veíamos nada
Nadie estaba a salvo cuando Randy salía a jugar
Te dejaría por muerto y luego simplemente se iría
Lo llamamos Primo Randy
Una vez, mientras estábamos en casa de la abuela, se estaba haciendo tarde
Randy se quedó afuera porque su olor era tan fuerte
Salió por la puerta y le dije 'Buenas noches'
Se abalanzó sobre mí, agarró mi cuello y empezó a apretar fuerte
Papá, Jim y abuelo se le lanzaron encima
Gritó '¿Qué tiene de bueno?' antes de detener su ataque
Al día siguiente, mientras estábamos nadando, intentó ahogar a mi hermana
Riendo mientras luchaba, luego la sacó y la besó
Lo llamamos Primo Randy. Para nosotros, él es solo Primo Randy
