lyrics

Baby X was left in bucket
In the projects west side of town
Christ the Savior gave Mommy labor
She called his name, he wasn’t ‘round

Mother Mary, she was no virgin
It’s just her luck had run its course
God had blessed her with bastard baby
And life just went from bad to worse

Stormin’ Norman was her hero
He won a medal in the war
She wrote him letters, “Baby, I’m pregnant”
He never answered the fuckin’ whore

He deserted the unwed mother
And re-enlisted in the corps
She delivered the bastard baby
In the kitchen on the floor

The welfare mother and her crack baby
Were both addicted, no one’s to blame
In the bucket went the baby
No more sorrow, no more shame

She fought off all maternal instincts
And baptized baby with her fists
She was arrested for desertion
Her only medal surrounds her wrists

Baby X was left in bucket
In the projects west side of town
Christ the Savior gave Mommy labor
She called his name, he wasn’t ‘round

Uncle Sam and Uncle Jesus
Partners in crimes for what they stole
One had taken away her soul mate
The other settled for just her soul
