about

First single by Kaplin

lyrics

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
