Animal - Man That Hits a Woman or a Child
Animal
Coward
Worm
Slime
No guts, no glory
Little man with a small mind
Day after day
Week after week
Year after year
Black eyes
Broken bones
Bruises all over my body
Alcohol has gone to your brain
You were nice once
Devil in disguise
I beg you to seek help
You promised it would stop
Then you did the unthinkable
That broke the camel’s back
You threw our three-year-old daughter
Through the glass door
I now have custody
You now have another
Forty years in prison
Torment
Agony
Despair
Shattered
Oppression
Tyranny
Suffering
Anguish
Trauma
Subjugation
