lyrics

4 o’clock
And the ladies are picking up their children from school
Thinking all the while
How life can be so cruel
For an unmarried lady who forgets
The golden rule

This child so young
So innocent
Looks up into a face
That has long since been erased
Unaware of the fires
Those have needlessly been lit
Pushing the button marked replay
The stinking sweetness of a song called
‘The thrill of picking fatherhood’
Cadaver burned out to reveal
The charred remains of a history
Whole in its fatherlessness


Suddenly
You feel something coming over you
Give praise
Tis’ the miracle of a child’s love
Transcending the sins
Of they
The women’s ole men

Look mama
Your baby girls a virgin again
Full to the brim
With hopes and promises
Oh great Jehovah
It is 4 o’clock
And the ladies are picking up their children
From school
And somewhere
Your baby girls a virgin again
