+Step-child, you have out-lived your time
-}}
+You represent embarrassment and failure
+And the father who must be killed
+Is the blight upon your blighted life
+And his might is his legal right to ground you down
+Step-child, with every petty swipe
+You just might find you're fighting for your life
+And the father who must be killed
+Is a step-father, but nonetheless
+The way he chews his food rips right through your senses
+Step-child, there's a knife in a drawer in a room downstairs
+And you, you know what you must do...
+So the step-child ran with the knife to his sleeping frame
+And slams it in his arms, his legs, his face, his neck
+And says:
+ "There's a law against me now"
-==Personnel==
+And the father who must be killed
+With his dying breath he grabs her hand
+And he looks into her eyes
+He says "I'm sorry," and he dies

+     So shall I
+     So shall I
+     So shall I..."
