Mothers Men

First there was one
Then there was another
I still remember watching 
One fighting with my brother

First this one
Then that one
One with a beard 
And then a fat one

Always wondering 
If my daddy's 
Ever gonna be the next one

None of mothers men liked me
I'd have to run outside 
They never could find me 
Way up in my tree, where i'd hide

None taught me more than to hate
Not to fight 
Not to fish 
Not even to skate

Mothers men all hated me
won't complain about beatings
After all it was Gods will to be
