If I had a baby
She would grow up strange and sad
She would execrate her dad
If I had a baby
She would hang herself at one
Drink herself to death at dawn
She would be put away
So why must I explain myself
I can't do it I can't even try
And you need a reason to see it through
You don't need a reason not to
If I had a baby
She would ask "What made you think
You knew how to make anything?"
And in the ether
There's a soul without a form
Somewhere safer and unborn
That tells me "Thanks for thinking twice."
