Why Memphis Has a Teary Eye

I gave you all that you ask and more
Shelter, I provided your head
Rain, I poured your crops
Yet you stab me in the worst ways
My baby, you killed
My child, you molested
My daughter, you betrayed
My son, you slaved
My baby, you killed
My child, you molested
My daughter, you betrayed
My son, you slaved
I beg you, stop... stop… stop.
In the mornings, when I walk outside my door
My heart wants to leave this old body
Because it doesn't believe what it sees
…
My wife, you raped
My husband, you ridiculed
My mother, you robbed
My father, you destroyed
My wife, you raped
My husband, you ridiculed
My mother, you robbed
My father, you destroyed
When are you going to wake up?
When are you going to realize that it is not me that you are destroying?
When are you going to wake up?
When are you going to realize that it is not me that you are destroying?
You are destroying your existence
You are destroying yourself
I beg you, stop... stop… stop.
Stop your foolish ways
Stop your selfish ways
Stop your wicked ways
