She had excuses and she chose to use them She was the victim of unspeakable abuses Her husband was violent, malicious and distant Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts!
They've been taken away!! They've been taken away!!
[Chorus:] Billy was the bright one, Tommy's off his head Mother loved them both the same At least thats what she said I don't predict the future I don't care about the past Send them both to D.S.S Now you had your chance The posion stole your babies The judges took your rights You can have your children or the night!!!
I supposed you've been a victim Though I suspect you may have lied Have you lost all ambition Won't you give this thing a try If you can't and you fail won't be the only loser These kid don't stand a chance with you in their future!!
They've been taken away!! They've been taken away!!
[Chorus] The posion stole your babies The judges took your rights You can have your children or the night!!!
