Daddy wants to take me for a ride

Daddy likes to drink when daddy drives

He's pounding on my door

He wants to come inside

Yeah daddy wants to take me for a ride

That's just the way it is, when I'm left alone

Yeah that's when hell comes home

Mommy says that everything is fine

Mommy hides her bruises all the time

She always makes excuses but I know that she is lyin'

Mommy says that everything is fine

That's just the way it is, he's evil to the bone

Mommy says that everything is fine

That's just the way it is, when we're left alone

Coz that's when hell comes home

I hear those footsteps on the stairs

Mom's bleeding out or maybe she don't care

We live in darkness and despair

I'm just so tired of being scared

(Daddy's home.. get out my way... gimme the bottle.. steven... steven... steven... )

(No... no... no....)

Daddy's gonna get a big surprise

I'll put one right between his eyes

And in his blood I'll write his last goodbyes

Yeah daddy's gonna get a big surprise

That just the way it is, he'll be deader then a stone

That's just the way it is, he'll leave us both alone

That's just the way it is when hell comes home
