Born on Third

Your brand new suit and tie That doesn't fit quite right With a Made in China sticker sewn inside You hated him before But daddy's spoils and scores Made you rich and blind trust only his accords You were born on third base With a rookie hunched behind the plate On a picture perfect day In a ballpark with your daddy's name Your sister's like a dream She's got it all now don't she Blonde and balancing kids jewelry and dreams Cause picture perfect skin And teeth as white as diamonds Are as good as gospel Girls take note When you killed the lion Rode the fourth wave for diamonds Sprayed on orange like a big old caution sign We chose not to see We chose to believe That you'd save us from the rising sea But you hunted cut and killed Smiled for every death wish fulfilled Burned the cities at the stake With their last breath they still sang your name
