childhood_like_we_all_believed_in
daf r.dafremen

In the grassed out yard
between the shadows
round and round the block
on a beat up scooter.
Mama's working hard
Behind the plywood windows
Mama's working hard
Mama's working hard

Mama's working hard
to put food on the table
doing things
she'd rather not have to do.

This ain't childhood like we all believed in
This ain't the kind of thing we saw..coming
This ain't the kind of thing that a man can get behind
This ain't the kind of thing we saw..coming

School in class ain't heavy
it's looking over your shoulder
Round and round the halls
like a funhouse mirror
Life is getting hard
and hard is getting clearer
Out in the yard life's getting hard

It's getting hard to be
everything everybody wants you to
and even harder just to care

This ain't childhood like we all believed in
This ain't the kind of thing we saw..coming
This ain't the kind of thing that a man can get behind
This ain't the kind of thing we saw..coming

dafremen REVISION:

Past the grassed out lots
Between the shadows
Ridin round the block on
A beat up scooter
Mama’s workin hard
Behind the plywood windows
Mama’s workin hard
Mama’s workin hard

Mama’s workin hard to keep food
On the table doin
Things she’d rather not have to do

This ain’t childhood like we
All believed in
These ain’t the kind of days we saw comin
This ain’t the kind of thing that a man can get behind..no
These ain’t the kind of days we saw comin

School in class ain’t heavy
It’s lookin over your shoulder
Wanderin through the halls like they were
Funhouse mirrors and
Life is getting hard
And hard is getting clearer, yea
Life is getting hard
Life’s getting hard

It’s getting hard to be everything that
Everbody wants you to and
Even harder just to care

This ain’t childhood like we
All believed in
These ain’t the kind of days we saw comin
This ain’t the kind of thing that a man can get behind..no
These ain’t the kind of days we saw comin

epitome of incomprehensibility I dig a good diminished chord now and then. And that ending had a lot of power. 140331
