Guilty
Mom and apple pie,
This is America.
Mom would never lie,
This is America:
"I want to leave your father,
but can't, I must be true.
All his abuse and torture
I take because of you.
"Giving you birth,
I was harmed by the ordeal.
My wounds are so severe,
They will never heal.
"I don't want to be working,
that's something I must do.
In silence I must suffer,
In order to feed you.
"This shows you how it must be,
And what you owe me, too.
I've made such sacrifices,
That's how much I love you."
Mom and apple pie,
This is America.
Mom would never lie,
This is America.
