What's The Matter Here?

G C D Em

G That young boy without a name G Anywhere I'd know his face Em In this city the kid's my favorite C D I've seen him seen him D G I see him every day

G I've seen him run outside G Looking for a place to hide Em From his father the kid half-naked C D And I said to myself D G Oh what's the matter here

C D G Em I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses Em C D G He's their kid I stay out of it C D G C But who gave you the right to do this

G We live on Morgan Street G Em Just ten feet between and his mother Em C D I never see her but her screams and curses D G I hear them every day

G Threats like if you don't mind G I will beat on your behind Em Slap you Em C D Slap you silly made me say hey hey hey D G Oh what's the matter here

C D G Em I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses Em C D G He's your kid do as you see as you see fit G C D G Em But get this through that I don't approve Em C D G Of what you did to your own flesh and blood

Em G C G If you don't sit in your chair straight Em G C G I'll take this belt from around my waist Em G C D And don't you think that I won't use it

C D Answer me and take your time G Em What could be the awful crime C D G He could do at so young an age

G C D If I'm the only witness to your madness G Em C Offer me some words to balance out C D G What I see and what I hear

G C D G Em All these cold and cruel things that you do G C D G I suppose you do because he belongs to you G C D And instead of love and the feeling of warmth D G Em You've given him these cuts and sores Em C D G That don't heal with time or with age

C D G And I want to say G C D Want to say hey hey hey D G What's the matter here
