Like You Would A Stranger Lyrics

That's your child

That's your blood

All the while in the mud

Of your temper and your insults and your anger

Broken dreams

Not their fault

Failed attempts

Not their fault

And yet all these things you do put them in danger

And I don't understand

Why you don't treat them like you would a stranger

You'd never do that on the street

With anybody else you'd meet

There's a way to act with someone in your range there

All the shit you had to take

Is a cycle you could break

How great to be the one to make the change here

'Cause I don't understand

Why you don't treat them like you would a stranger

No I don't understand

Why you don't treat them like you would a stranger

Consideration and respect

Hold a door and say good morning

Man how hard is it to be polite?

Everybody is a person

No one needs to hear you cursing

Just because they're yours don't make it right

That's your child

That's your blood

All the while in the mud

Of your temper and your insults and your anger

Broken dreams

Not their fault

Failed attempts

Not their fault

And yet all these things you do put them in danger

And I don't understand

Why you don't treat them like you would a stranger

No I don't understand

Why you don't treat them like you would a stranger

Like you would a stranger

Like you would a stranger
