bastard from flowers by Little Kid

i make decent money but i piss it all away
i've got debts i oughtta pay instead i'm wasted everyday
but lord, don't tell my father 'cause i don't know what he'd say
he was a christian in his day or at least he was on paper

but i'm a bastard baby a bastard babe
and although i pray i cannot be saved
'cause i'm a bastard baby a bastard babe
and i'll say i'll change but i'll stay the same

i won't send you letters you won't read them anyway
you've got no patience today for the shit that i would say
you wed in february but the kid was born july
and it's no business of mine but i'm counting only five months

so he's a bastard baby a bastard babe
and although you pray he cannot be saved
if he's a bastard baby a bastard babe
then the congregation won't speak his name

i ain't passing judgment 'cause like you i couldn't wait
for the little love i've made i don't regret it all today
but that might change tomorrow 'cause i fucked up yesterday
and there's a feeling i can't shake that a baby's on the way
