Child of the Government Lyrics by Jayli Wolf

Wild Whisper - EP

2021

[Intro - spoken by unidentified male voice]
Oh hey, I just got- I was just, uh, gonna tell you that I just, uh, I just got no one to talk to really
[Verse 1]
Father Youngblood took the children down
To the water with the cross and the Bible
They were taught to pray
But they left their hands up high
[Verse 2]
Grandma was young when the baby came and
She was locked up in a white room raining
The nuns held the key while they made her sign her name
They took my daddy away
[Chorus]
My father's blood is mine
His story beats inside me
And now I share it herе with you
Yeah, he's a child of the govеrnment
[Break]
[Verse 3]
Mixed up the bloodline, lost to his people
Broken and cursed, wrapped him in evil
Smile for the priest now, God save the banknote
This is a song about a child of the government
[Verse 4]
Cuts and bruises
Drugs and alcoholic
I just saw my father and he fell down
Now he's empty calling
Hands in ring, he's all in
Toothless fighter, makes me cry
Yeah he's a child of the government
[Chorus]
My father's blood is mine
His story beats inside me
And now I share it here with you
Yeah, he's a child of the government
(Yeah, he's a child of the government)
(Yeah he's a child)
Yeah, he's a child of the government
[Bridge]
I won't wear a cross
I won't say his name
I won't kneel down in dirty water
I won't pray lies and I've been baptized
What doesn't kill you makes you a monster
[Outro - spoken by unidentified male voice]
There's a lot of things that the government blacked out, but you know, like, I mean, no matter what happened, I'm just, you know, I'm really grateful for you in my life, 'cause, it's been difficult. Um, and I guess I pass a lot of that onto you, and, uh, you know, uh, you know we're doing the best we can, and life's awesome
