Married at eighteen Bought a modest house Worked in the machine Began to hate his spouse Together had a child Divorce a next step Une femme he beguiled Oh for weeks he wept He turned to the drink A home had he not I sat; watched him sink His mind seemed to rot Beheld his final breath Guided him through death I mean no harm All dressed in black I do my job I cannot slack Please do not beg And do not cry Their fates are sealed I'm your ally I'll take good care They're safe with me The afterlife Is good, you'll see This angel's life Is hard enough It's all I have My work is tough Never knew the dad Was a one night stand Not even a grad Received not one hand Worked nine to seven Couldn't grant her son Believed in heaven A much better one Couldn't take much more So she swallowed her pills Fell down to the floor As her kid felt chills Beheld her final breath Guided her through death I mean no harm All dressed in black I do my job I cannot slack Please do not beg And do not cry Their fates are sealed I'm your ally I'll take good care They're safe with me The afterlife Is good, you'll see This angel's life Is hard enough It's all I have My work is tough
