She had excuses and she chose to use them
She was the victim of unspeakable abuses
Her husband was violent, malicious and distant
Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts!

They've been taken away!
They've been taken away!

Billy was the bright one
Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same,at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you have had your chance

The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night!

I supposed you've been a victim
I suspect you may have lied
If you've lost all ambition won't you give this thing a try
If you can't and you fail you won't be the only loser
These kids don't stand a chance with you in their future!

They've been taken away!
They've been taken away!

Billy was the bright one
Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same,at least thats what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you have had your chance

The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night!

The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night!

Billy was the bright one
Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same,at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you have had your chance

The poison who stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children or the night!
