Cut Lips

He beats his partner black and blue

Like he thinks it's his right to do

We hear the screams, we hear the cries and calls

We hear it every night through the thin walls

Why they stay with him we don't know

Why don't they leave, why don't they go

Things won't change, they just cannot

Coz we know a leopard can never change its spots, no

The next day off to work in a shirt and tie

They stand at the door and each waves goodbye
