Child Maintenance
Children not going to school sitting at home
Not doing anything, they’re all alone.
Mother of seven children, struggling, working overtime
To show her kids how much she cares
But the cost of living is so high she can hardly afford
The taxes of the bus fare.
Father at a bar getting stoned,
Don’t even have a penny or a dollar to take back at home
Mother is trying to give and provide for her child
With the best she has
While Father’s not worried at all in
Instead he spends his money on other women
Pretending to be some sort of Santa Claus
Mother’s trying to reach her children’s need but still
So many mouths to feed.
Children dreams of becoming something falling apart
Child maintenance is a serious issue
And from home is where it all starts.
