my son stayed up
in the kitchen by himself
I came walking in that night
couldn't reach the toy on the shelf
he said dad I know you tried your best
but I still want my toy
it's my way or the highway
and I said now listen boy
and before he went to bed he said I hate you
and now he's gonna have to hear me say


I won't tolerate that from you
now I love you that's a given
but long as you are livin' in my house
one thing is true
you can't turn away forget me
or curse my name 'cause if you do I'll tan your hide
son always know
that behavior is Unacceptable


this line is like a circle
slowly turning by itself
will we be stuck forever
standing here outside of 'shelves'?
we stepped into this line
a year ago today
I am dying from this hunger
will we finally eat today?
and before they sat us down
I said I hate you
and now their gonna have to hear me say


I won't tolerate this from you
now your busy that's a given
but long as I am livin' in this town
one thing is true
I can turn away forget you
curse your place
or I could even burn it down
you see this frown?
this food is Unacceptable


I can turn away forget you
curse your place
or I could even burn it down
you see this frown?
your food is Unacceptable
