It started out 15 years ago
I was born to people I didn’t know
I was told to read and do my work
I was told to never smoke or curse
But everyday
I see them smoke
I hear them curse
Sometime it is to hard to endure
I go to school
I do my best
All I get
Is “Do the rest”
I clean the house
I feed the dog
I wash the dishes
I sweep the floor
I am told to do more
“Do this
Do that”
What else can I do
I tell my friends
They say its wrong
I keep it to myself
Till 18 years are gone
Ill leave that dreaded house
Ill leave this dreaded country
Ill go to the place I have always loved
Ireland
Goodbye NC
Goodbye USA
Goodbye South
Goodbye and good ridens
