[Verse 1]
Back of the house is a mile of wasteland
Billy and I built a shack on a willow
Looking at the rain like a fox from a foxhole
We swear and wank and smoke till teatime
[Chorus]
My mother bore me
My father bores me
And baby, moan is nothing but a noise
God is, god loves us (Willow, willow)
But sure does scare me (Willow, willow)
{?} bars to cage the world of boys
1, 2, 3
[Verse 2]
Billy cuts his thumb and I cut my thumb too
From that day on we become blood brothers
Running through the days of a lazy summer
Well I don't give a fuck for the family routine
[Chorus]
My mother bore me
My father bores me
I love tham, though we don't have much to say
God is, god guides us
But shadow's deeper
I'd hate to see this freedom slip away
1, 2, 3, hey!
[Verse 3]
Billy come quick there's a man in our field
And he's looking through a thing that's sticking in big posts
Where the highway runs they've buried our childhood
Oh, Billy, did they have to take you away too
[Chorus]
My mother soothes me
Dad gets a motor
We do 80 where the willow house once stood
God's in his heaven
But I'm eleven
I wonder why he had to take my world
