What's the Matter Here? lyrics

That young boy without a name
Anywhere I'd know his face
In this city the kid's my favorite
I've seen him, seen him
I see him every day
 
Seen him run outside
Looking for a place to hide
From his father, the kid half naked
And said to myself
"Oh, what's the matter here?"
 
I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses
"He's their kid, I stay out of it"
But who gave you the right
To do this?
 
We live on Morgan Street
Just ten feet between
And his mother, I never see her
But her screams and cussing
I hear them every day
 
Threats like "If you don't mind
I will beat on your behind
Slap you, slap you silly"
Made me say
"Oh, what's the matter here?
 
I'm tired of the excuses everybody uses
"He's your kid, do as you see fit"
But get this through that I don't approve
Of what you did
To your own flesh and blood
 
I have heard the excuses everybody uses
"He's your kid, do as you see fit"
But get this through that I don't approve
Of what you did
To your own flesh and blood
 
"If you don't sit in your chair straight
I'll take this belt from around my waist
And don't you think that I won't use it"
 
Answer me - and take your time -
What could be the awful crime
He could do at so young an age?
If I'm the only witness to your madness
Offer me some words to balance
Out what I see and what I hear
 
All these cold and rude things that you do
I suppose you do because he "belongs to you"
And instead of love and the feel of warmth
You've given him these cuts and sores
That won't heal with time or with age
 
And I want to say, "Hi"
Want to say "What's the matter here?"
But I don't dare say "What's the matter here?"
But I don't dare say...
