lyrics

I'll give
the gift of life
the gift of not knowing
he was ever alive
ever alive

It's murder
but it ain't a crime
no it is my right
'cause that boy was mine
that boy was mine

Jesus
when he was born
had a manger
you'll get a bucket
if you're lucky

I'll give
the gift of life
the gift of not knowing
he was ever alive
ever alive

It's murder
should be a crime
so easy
there was no fight
we crossed a line

He'll get
a sanitary towel
for a pillow
the bowl
is his resting place

He'll never have a name
He'll never have a name
He'll never get a choice
He'll never have a name
A name

If I had the choice I would choose
never to have been born
so you can't accuse me of hypocrisy
at least he'll never consider suicide

If I had the choice I would choose
never to have been born
so you can't accuse me of hypocrisy
at least he'll never consider suicide

You didn't get to choose
it should have been your choice
what did I lose
you could have been my boy
