Free Cee Never Mind What the Children Weed
NEVER MIND WHAT THE CHILREN WEED
She left them alone to do what they had to do
their ages were from twelve to two
she expected the eldest to keep things under control
but she had a desire deep in her heart and soul
she left them with cereal and milk for two and a half days
selfishness and demanding voices warned the lady of her wicked ways
but her ears would not hear and her heart would not feel
and I don't consider cereal and milk a meal
so she walked out the door and told them all to go to sleep
as she unknowingly buried a few graves six feet deep
she went out to party with crack and weed
and didn't care what her children might need
day turned into night and night once again into day
and for her that was too long to be away
but she couldn't surrender to a deeply disturbing desire
and when she finally came home she found her kids had died in a fire
