Oh, Go Away Yesterday
The girls never had much of a chance
In a home bereft of love, much less romance
With a belt switched, emotions naked, sans pants
OH, go away yesterday
Living in constant breathless terror
Ever fearful of making the slightest error
Of the Flag of Angst were they sad bearers
OH, go away yesterday
The older sister, destiny picked
To be the recipient of savage kicks
Such mean-spirited, heartless tricks
OH, go away yesterday
The younger, who briefly left school,
Bore derision and the tag of 'fool'
Forsaken by the family--abandoned, so cruel
OH, go away yesterday
