You hate, you scream, you swear
                    Am
And still you never reach him
    C
You curse, you try to scare
                  Am
But you can never teach him
                Em
It's a dead end street
     F                  G        C
They tie your hands and tie your feet
Am                Em

You've done it all before

By now they'll know the pattern
