Can't Hide Lyrics

Father, do you love me, do you think that i'm any good?
And mother, you would have been there, if you only could.
And brother, we used to be so close, now we're so far apart...
And sister there will always be a place for you in my heart

Jesus, god, are you there?
I get the feeling, you don't care.
There's a pain deep inside, i can run, but you know i can't hide.

The house is a mess, i believe i'll go outside for a while
You need a license to drive, but nothing to raise a child
And your alcoholism and fear run deep in my blood
And the welfare lines are always longer at the first of the month

Jesus, god, are you there?
I get the feeling, you don't care.
There's a pain deep inside, i can run, but you know i can't hide.

Social worker came to take us for a ride
My self esteem was low, but i held my head up high ...
And that was the only time, i saw my dear grandmother cry...
'cause as white trash i was born, and well that's how i'm gonna die.

Jesus, god, are you there?
I get the feeling, you don't care.
There's a pain deep inside, i can run, but you know i can't hide.
