She had excuses and she chose to use them
She was the victim of unspeakable abuses
Her husband was violent, malicious and distant
Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts!

They've been taken away!
They've been taken away!

[chorus:]
Billy was a bright one
Tommy's off his head*
Mother loved them both the same,at least thats what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS, now you've had your chance
The poison stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children for the night

I suppose you've been a victim
I suspect you may have lied
You've lost all ambition why don't you give this thing a try
If you can't and you fail you won't be the only loser
These kid don't stand a chance with you in their future!

They've been taken away!
They've been taken away!

[chorus 1x]

The boys who stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children for the night
