Whats The Matter Here of In My Tribe by 10000 Maniacs Lyrics

Whats The Matter Here Text Lyrics


[ robert buck/natalie merchant ]



That young boy without a name i´d know his face.
In this city the kid´s my favorite.
I´ve seen him. i see him every day.
Seen him run outside looking for a place to hide from his father,
The kid half naked and said to myself "o, what´s the matter here?"
I´m tired of the excuses everbody uses, he´s their kid i stay out of it,
But who gave you the right to do this?

We live on morgan street;
Just ten feet between and his mother, i never see her,
But her screams and cussing, i hear them every day.
Threats like: "if you don´t mind i will beat on your behind,"
"slap you, slap you silly."
Made me say, "o, what´s the matter here?"
I´m tired of the excuses everybody uses, he´s your kid, do as you see fit,
But get this through that i don´t approve of what you did to you own flesh and blood.

"if you don´t sit on this chair straight
I´ll take this belt from around my waist and don´t think that i won´t use it!"

Answer me and take your time,
What could be the awful crime he could do at such young an age?
If i´m the only witness to your madness offer me some words to balance out what i see and what i hear.
All these cold and rude things that you do i suppose you do because he belongs to you
And instead of love, the feel of warmth you´ve given him these cuts and sores won´t heal with time or age.

I want to say "what´s the matter here?"
But i don´t dare say.
