Way Down the Line

Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same

The world you get's the one you give away

It all just happens again

Way down the line

There is a chain that's never broken

You know the story it's sad but true

An angry man gets drunk and beats his kids

The same old way his drunken father did

What comes around, well, it goes around

Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same

The world you get's the one you give away

It all just happens again

Way down the line

At 17, Shannon is pregnant

As young as her mom when she had her

Her kid is never gonna have a dad

The same old way that Shannon never had

What comes around, well, it goes around

Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same

The world you get's the one you give away

It all just happens again

Way down the line

And all the things you learn when you're a kid

You'll fuck up just like your parents did

It all just happens again

Way down the line

And welfare moms have kids on welfare

And fat parents they have fat kids too

You know it's never gonna end

The same old cycle's gonna start again

What comes around, well, it goes around

Nothing changes 'cause it's all the same

The world you get's the one you give away

It all just happens again

Way down the line

And all the things you learn when you're a kid

You'll fuck up just like your parents did

It all just happens again

Way down the line
