Seems to me you were snake bitten from day one   Absent somehow when they shot off the right from wrong gun   Always swimming in the deep end of your troubled pool   Opted for that asphalt as your chosen school      Then you got shipped off to DYS   Threw your life into a great big mess   But you could care less      It's a tale of increasing woe   You know how the story goes   Hard luck kid has us all asking why   Once a shine in your mother's eyes   Failed attempts now make her cry   Hard luck kid, when will you ever learn?      From Southie to Walpole you went from small to bigger crime   Hanging out with cross colors crews, promoted to fulltime   Kept in step, upped your rep by pulling those hold-up jobs   Now you find yourself locked up with Cedar Junction mobs      Murphy boy is locked down in the can   Probably not part of the big plan   Does he understand?      It's a tale of increasing woe   You know how the story goes   Hard luck kid has us all asking why   Has to fend for himself in the yard   How did this become his card?   Hard luck kid, when will you ever learn?      And I heard you just broke free from institution   Will you turn onto the right path for solution?   Cause I know inside there lies one more shot   Do not be the guy redemption had forgot about   Left behind, got passed over by a criminal mind   Back to wrong, same old song   Pete wake up, get back on top while you still own some hope      It's a tale of increasing woe   You know how the story goes   Hard luck kid has us all asking why   Once a shine in your mother's eyes   Failed attempts now make her cry   Hard luck kid, when will you ever learn?
