What's the Matter Here?
作词：Robert N Buck, Natalie Merchant
That young boy without a name
Anywhere I'd know his face
In this city the kid's my favorite
I've seen him, I've 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've 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 you 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 you 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 don't heal with time or with age
And I want to say, 'Hi'
Want to say, 'Hey, hey, what's the matter here?
But I don't dare say, 'Hey, hey, what's the matter here?'
But I don't dare say, 'Hey, hey'
