My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be grey, but your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

Dear Slim, I wrote you but you still aren't calling

I left my cell, my pager, and my home phone at the bottom

I sent two letters back in autumn

You must not have got them

It probably was a problem at the post office or something

Family portrait by PINK (family problems)

Momma please stop crying, I can’t stand the sound

Your pain is painful and it’s tearing me down

I hear glasses breaking as I sit up in my bed

I told dad you didn’t mean those nasty things you

said

You fight about money, bout me and my brother

And this I come home to, this is my shelter

It ain’t easy growing up in World War III

Never knowing what love could be, you’ll see

I don’t want love to destroy me like it has done

my family

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

I promise I’ll be better, Mommy I’ll do anything

Can we work it out? Can we be a family?

I promise I’ll be better, Daddy please don’t leave

Daddy please stop yelling, I can’t stand the sound

Make mama stop crying, cause I need you around

My mama she loves you, no matter what she says it’s true

I know that she hurts you, but remember I love you, too

I ran away today, ran from the noise, ran away

Don’t wanna go back to that place, but don’t have no choice, no way

It ain’t easy growing up in World War III

Never knowing what love could be, well I've seen

I don’t want love to destroy me like it did my family.
