Enough is Enough

 
 

Death to the Innocent

I went to a party Mum, I remembered what you said,
You told me not to drink Mum, so I drank soda instead
I really felt proud inside Mum, the way you said I would
I didn't drink and drive Mum, though the others said I should
I know I did the right thing Mum, I know you're always right
Now the party is ending Mum, and they're driving out of sight

As I got into my car Mum I knew I'd get home in one piece
Because of the way you raised me - responsible and sweet
I started driving away Mum but as I pulled onto the road
The other car just didn't see me and he hit me like a load

As I lay here on the pavement Mum, I hear the Policeman say
the other guy is drunk Mum and I'm the one to pay
I'm lying here and dying Mum, I wish you'd get here soon
How could this happen to me Mum, my whole life's burst like a balloon

There is blood that's all around me - and most of it is mine
I hear the medics say Mum I will die in a short time
I just wanted to tell you Mum I swear I didn't drink
It was the others Mum, the others, I was them who didn't think
He was probably at the same party as I -
The only difference is he drank - and I'll die

Why do people drink and drive Mum, it can ruin your whole life
I'm feeling sharp pains now, pains that cut me like a knife
The guy who hit me is walking and I don't think that is fair
I'm lying here and dying and all he can do is stare

Tell my brother not to cry Mum - Tell Daddy to be brave
And when I go to Heaven, put "Daddy's Girl" upon my grave
Someone should have told him Mum, Not to drink and drive
If only they had told him - Perhaps I'd be alive

My breath is getting shorter now, and I'm becoming very scared
Please don't cry for me, Mum when I needed you - you were there
I have one last question though before I say 'Good-bye'
"I didn't drink and drive Mum so why am I to die?"
