To hell with my pride, on my knees I’m coming to beg
I’d just like justice to be a bit more just this time
To hell with my pride, on my knees I’m coming to beg
Because justice was in short supply once again
It’s a tragedy, another step backwards
Their murderous biased justice has stuck its big arse on fathers’ rights
It’s a tragedy, another course in reverse
Justice has stuck its big arse on fathers’ rights
If I’m writing to you now, my child, from my night
It’s so that you know that I’ve lost everything
Like a dog I fought for my right to love you
As a dad can love
They left me roaming in my anger without you
They’ve trampled fathers’ rights once again
They’ve chucked us aside, you and I like two floorcloths
And bollocks to fathers’ rights
If I’m writing to you now, it’s because you must know that they’ve left me nothing
But the right to howl your name in the wind
I’ve lost the most important of my battles
To see you growing up everyday my child
We are thousands of fathers with our noses in the dust
Thousands that they’ve chucked in this dungeon, this rat trap, this misery
Thousands weeping ‘Your Honour take off your blinkers’
Thousands begging for our fathers’ rights
I’m leaving under darkness, no, I won’t let go of you
No, I watch over for you from afar as that’s my only right
I’ll always have a hand on my heart and the other on your shoulder
I’ll come and sniff you out from far away, at your school exit
My love they won’t snatch them from me, neither them nor your poor mother
My father’s eyes
My love know that my hands will be shredded on the impassible barbed wire
Of a cash machine that they call justice
The oldest of the whores, I piss in its arse-crack 1
I have this murderous yearning deep in my anger
I won’t place bombs, no, that disgusts me
There’s nothing lower than them you know, those bombs that tear off arms and legs
They’ll never catch the heart of the heartless
You know, those who offer us the crumbs of a few days together each month
I have this murderous yearning deep in my prayer
They’ve stolen from me, my father’s rights, my father’s rights
