My father's dark shadow lies over these hills screaming like a baby and he's standing there still my son my beloved let this be the last time your troubles mix like blood deep in with mine I'm weak on my back and all I can see is the birds in the sky their hunger's pointing at me Papa don't preach no more papa don't preach no more papa don't preach no more My daughters told me secrets I don't want to know of the filthy fucking nights when they laid their bodies low my mother left town chased out in a rage I was kicking in her belly at a very young age Papa don't preach no more papa don't preach no more papa don't preach no more papa don't preach no more
