Bow and Arrow Lyrics

My name is my mark

My vision's a dark silver lining

My mother's a tree

She cries out to me with her whining

My father's my foe

He gave me this bow and arrow 

Houses for rent

Came and went with the summer

Students for sale,

Backwater jail, what a bummer

My father's my foe

He gave me this bow and arrow  

The powers that be

Came here to see our condition

What I do with a girl's

No concern to the world's cold tradition

My father's my foe

He gave me this bow and arrow 

He built me this bed

He screwed on my head in the morning

He gave up the fight

Now I have the right to ignore him 


My father's my foe

He gave me this bow and arrow 

Father came south

And swallowed a mouthful of sea salt

Easy and free

Don't look at me like it's my fault 


My father's my foe

He gave me this bow and arrow 

Father is gone

Now I carry on the religion

Birds overhead

Sing of the dead with their squealing 


My father's my foe

He gave me this bow and arrow
