Cain - Live

Lyrics

One of the dead boys, he looked like Opie
 He looked like Opie, one of the dead boys
 Grandpa gave him a cup of cocoa and
 Rubbed his head for luck like he always did, yeah
 ♪
 All you need is a Coca Cola
 That's what it takes to get the job done
 A bunch of boys sitting in the van
 With a bag of chips and a bloody can
 Well, father do you know your son?
 Father do you know his name?
 There were two, now there is one here
 Told me his name is Cain, yeah
 Names Cain and Abel and he's walkin'
 ♪
 Black boys in the dungeons
 Picking out all the red ones
 The small are getting smaller
 Little smaller every day
 White boys in the dungeons
 Picking out all the green ones
 All they found beneath that black knit cap
 Was a bad cliche
 Yeah, yeah, yeah
 ♪
 All of the smart kids live in Asia
 Lord have mercy on us, euthanasia
 Is there a heaven for the frustrated
 The bored to death, the emasculated?
 Father do you know your son?
 Father do you know his name?
 There were two, now there is one
 He told me his name is Cain
 Father do you know your son?
 Father do you know his name?
 Father, I'm a son without a father
 A father, a father
 Cain
 Cain
 Cain
 Cain
 Cain
 Cain, yeah
 Oh
 Oh yeah, yeah
 Yeah
