I don't know any of Fifteen's other songs but I like this one.

Fifteen - "Survivor"

Your daddy beat you up
Your daddy beat you down
Your daddy put your mama in the hospital
Your daddy left town...he broke your heart
Your mama drank too much
Your mama hit you in the face
You had to make excuses for the bruises to all your friends
You had to live in disgrace...She broke your heart
Daddy came in your room at night
He took whatever he want
Your daddy was your first time
And your mama never tried to stop him...they
broke your heart

My mama beat me up
My mama beat me down
My brother was a rapist
My family threw me out... they broke my heart

America is the place where the kids got broken hearts
America is the place where the kids got twisted minds bent on self destruction
America is the place where the kids got their wills broken into and broken in two
America is the place where the kids got broken hearts

And the adults say hush, keep it down now,
voices carry
Hush hush, keep it down now, voices carry

They say, don't tell anyone, don't tell em
anything
Don't tell 'em what went on, don't tell 'em
what really happened
Don't tell anyone, don't tell 'em anything
They won't believe you cuz it's all your fault


I made a bag out of a piece of cloth
I made a wish and I wrote it down on a piece of paper
I put the paper in the bag and I wished with all
my heart
I said, please please deliver me; low and behold it became reality
So I can say today
I refuse to believe that god created me to be
tortured
I refuse to believe the earth created me to be
abandoned
I refuse to believe that god created me to be
neglected
I refuse to believe the Earth created me to be
abused

I picked up the pieces of my broken heart off of
the dirty boulevard
I found a punk rock kid who had a needle and
some leather string
I made a wish and I said it, again and again I took
the needle and threaded it
I sewed my broken heart back together again
I got family now, sew my broken heart back together again
I got a wife I love, sewed my broken heart back together again
I got two daughters I love, sewed my broken heart back together again
I got a family now

Who ever you are, whatever you do, where ever
you are you don't deserve abuse
 
Josh,

Thank you! :)

The lyrics to this song are so powerful! They speak to me so much.

You are a remarkable person, I believe. You have shared so much here from your heart in such a short time. Everything you bring to this discussion board is uplifting and strengthening to me and I am certain it does the same for others, here.

Way to go, Man! Keep up the great work.

Sincerely, Jess.

P.S. Who are "Fifteen"? I never heard of them. Where do they come from? Are they on the internet?
Jess.

I am afraid I don't know much about them. This specific song was reccomended to me a while ago, but I am not familar with the group. Searching a bit on the web will probably give some results, though.
 
SP, those are really excellent lyrics! I'll have to check this group out. Thanks.
