I grew up in a poor family
My pappy worked in a coal mine
My gran'pappy worked in a coal mine
I worked in coal mine
But I am not going to let my children work in no coal mine
My boss is a dragon who runs a tight shift
He tries to eat children, but I protect them with my glowing trident
I drive a big nice car to work every day
But my dragon boss rides the sub way, get it?
(the two words rhyme!)

I want better for my kids
I want them to have a better life!
I don’t want them to have to work with lions
Lions are drawn to people who play the fife!

I eat the feathers that I find on the ground
I gives me strength, you son of a bitch
(You aren’t going to put my children in prison!)
My children are good children, they do their homework
And their science experiments...
Every day I drop my kids off in the ocean,
Sometimes they grab onto drift wood, and sometimes they drown
I tell them to look out for Frankenstein, because I know he is tough
One time I had a dream about an airplane,
Hey, have you seen those knives with the tiger heads for handles,
and the blades that are made of fire?

I want better for my kids
I want them to have a better life!
I don’t want them to have to work with lions
Lions are drawn to people who play the fife!

I want better for my kids
I want them to have a better life!
I don’t want them to have to work with lions
Lions are drawn to people who play the fife!
