LA RECENSIONE

They call me Frankie, married, my heart smiled at me every morning. Her

Work, Work. Work. Work. Work

Day after day. Day after day. Survive, life is just an illusion, a joke of a derisive God

I don't have a home but four walls that become more and more a suffering.

Work. Work. Deep wounds in the soul.

Food. I no longer have a home.

A gun.

What God can turn me into a monster. You are not a God, you are my nightmare. What God can turn love into violence.

Nightmare that kills my heart that smiles at me every morning. Her.

Thank you for the daily horror.

Thank you for the horror.

Thank you.

A gun.

Her

My heart that smiles at me every morning

Frankie.

Now I can spit in your face.

Tracklist Lyrics

01   Frankie Teardrop (05:33)

Frankie teardrop
Twenty year old Frankie
He's married he's got a kid
And he's working in a factory

He's working from seven to five
He's just trying to survive
well lets hear it for Frankie
Frankie Frankie

Well Frankie cant make it
Cause things are just too hard
Frankie cant make enough money
Frankie cant buy enough food

And Frankie's getting evicted
Oh let's hear it for Frankie
Oh Frankie Frankie
Oh Frankie Frankie

Frankie is so desperate
He's gonna kill his wife and kids
Frankie's gonna kill his kid
Frankie picked up a gun

Pointed at the six month old in the crib
Oh Frankie
(scream)
Frankie looked at his wife

Shot her
(screams)
"Oh what have I done?"
Let's hear it for Frankie

Frankie teardrop
Frankie put the gun to his head
(screams)
Frankie's dead

(screams)

Frankie's lying in hell
(screams)

We're all Frankies
We're all lying in hell
(screams)
