Track Name: The Hatred Of Women
I never heard
My grandpa speak
A simple man
Mild & meek
He went to work
He went to sleep
My grandma told us
he was weak

I used to think
Men had too much
Thought the world could
Use a woman’s touch
Was told the promise
Would be worth the trust
And we’d all be one
Or near enough

But that isn’t what happened
And all I see
Is the hatred of women
For men like me

Men have no doubt
Just what they’re for
We die at work
We die in war
We die at sea
As the lifeboats float ashore
Women & children,
all aboard

We take the strain
We bear the load
Build the bridges
Sweep the roads
Make the houses
That make the homes
Pay for others
But live alone

And the more that it happens
The more I see
The hatred of women
For men like me

I wonder if they’ll ever know
The hurt that’s left behind
There’s nothing good can ever grow
Inside a poisoned mind
And the more I go looking
The more I see
The hatred of women
For men like me

I never held
My father’s hand
Took his side
Made a stand
All my life
I just ran & ran
He said Son,
You don’t understand
But the more I get older
The more I see
The hatred of women
For men like me
The more I get older
The more I see
The hatred of women
For men like me.
Track Name: I Used To Be Wrong
I used to be wrong
Now I hope that I’m right
Used to think I’d cure death
With every page that I’d write
I used to know what
Everyone else should do
Now I wish
How I wish
Someone could tell me what’s true

It’s easy to drift
Just like everyone else
To think like you’re told
& never look for yourself
It’s harder to stand
When you’re standing alone
But you do, & you must
& that’s all that you know

I used to be wrong
Now I hope that I’m not
I’ve only one life
I’ve got to give it a shot
I used to do bad
Now I hope I’ve done good
And the things that I’ve done
are enough

The things that I’ve known
No one ever could teach
The truth feels so close
& still it’s just out of reach

But for all that I’ve said
For all I’ve not done
It was still meant for the best
Now same as when I was young
When I used to be wrong
Track Name: Oh Sister
Oh sister when I come to lie in your arms
You should not treat me like a stranger
Our mother would not like the way that you act
And you must realize the danger

Oh sister am I not a brother to you?
And one deserving of affection?
And is our purpose not the same on this earth?
To love & find the true direction

We grow up together, share the cradle then the grave
Could have died when we were born but were mysteriously saved

Oh sister when I come to knock on your door
Don't turn away, don't create sorrow
Time is an ocean, but it ends at the shore
You might not find me here tomorrow
