I went home, I was feeling so alone
I was late, it was my mistake
I went to my room and sat there in the gloom
I know I've been bad, I know he'll be mad
I hear him coming down the hall
And there's nowhere to go, nowhere at all
I've been bad, it was my mistake
He opens the door, his eyes are full of hate
Dad, no!
Dad, leave me alone!
Dad, no!
Dad, let me go!
Dad, no!
Dad, leave me alone!
Dad, no!
Oh my God, no! No!
My mom comes rushing in, she says "Please, don't hurt him!"
Dad gives her a kick, he slaps her around a bit
He says: "Shut up, you bitch! Shut up, you bitch!
I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Shut up! I'll kill you!"
Dad keeps hitting mom's face, and there's blood all over the place,
I said "Please, Dad, please! It was my mistake! I'm the one that's bad!
I'm the one that's bad! Don't hit her, Dad! Don't hit her, Dad!"
Dad, no!
Dad, leave her alone!
Dad, let her go!
No! No!
Dad, no!
Dad, let her go!
Oh my God! No! No!
He went into my sister's room, and he locked the door
He said "I hate you, but I want you more"
I heard her crying as the light went out
I heard her scream, I had to shout
Dad, no!
Dad, leave her alone!
Dad, let her go!
No! No!
Dad, no!
Dad, let her go!
Oh my God! No! No!
I'm seriously considering leaving home
I was late, it was my mistake
I went to my room and sat there in the gloom
I know I've been bad, I know he'll be mad
I hear him coming down the hall
And there's nowhere to go, nowhere at all
I've been bad, it was my mistake
He opens the door, his eyes are full of hate
Dad, leave me alone!
Dad, no!
Dad, let me go!
Dad, no!
Dad, leave me alone!
Dad, no!
Oh my God, no! No!
Dad gives her a kick, he slaps her around a bit
He says: "Shut up, you bitch! Shut up, you bitch!
I'll kill you! I'll kill you! Shut up! I'll kill you!"
I said "Please, Dad, please! It was my mistake! I'm the one that's bad!
I'm the one that's bad! Don't hit her, Dad! Don't hit her, Dad!"
Dad, leave her alone!
Dad, let her go!
No! No!
Dad, no!
Dad, let her go!
Oh my God! No! No!
He said "I hate you, but I want you more"
I heard her crying as the light went out
I heard her scream, I had to shout
Dad, leave her alone!
Dad, let her go!
No! No!
Dad, no!
Dad, let her go!
Oh my God! No! No!

This song is fucking intense.
The last line is a great touch though

This is one of NoMeansNo's classics. I also enjoy the parody NoMeansNo did of this song called "Brad" about a slightly less dysfunctional family, as their bizzaro, puck-rock counterparts, the Hanson Brothers. Both songs are great.

me n my friends are planning to play this song for a school battle of the bands, hopefully we won't be expelled or have the child protective service on our folk's ass

this song is about dad.
