Lyrics
Once upon a time
A perfect ten
But high school's peak
Was where it would end
Five years later
She's got three kids
Dropped outta college
Like her momma did
First of the month
Another EBT
But now she's learning
Nothing in life's free
Bridge:
Stepped into Careerlink
Back on the chase
And when their eyes met
It all fell into place
Chorus:
Married to others while the shit is goin on
Nothing he does will ever seem to be wrong
Long nights ahead but still she wont be gone
Another ex con living off a welfare mom
Doesn't care at all about the life she lives
Every sin against her is one she forgives
Nightmares of passing this on to her kids
Moms and ex-cons on a Careerlink's kiss
In another part of town
A man got off his knees
Dressed to impress
Heading on work release
More n half his life
Spent behind an iron bar
A public defender
Was how he got this far
Neither has a plan
Or cares anyway
Just another hit
To make it through the day
Bridge:
Stepped into Careerlink
Back on the chase
And when their eyes met
It all fell into place
Chorus:
Married to others while the shit is goin on
Nothing he does will ever seem to be wrong
Long nights ahead but still she wont be gone
Another ex con living off a welfare mom
Doesn't care at all about the life she lives
Every sin against her is one she forgives
Nightmares of passing this on to her kids
Moms and ex-cons on a Careerlink's kiss
When the evening comes
Throw on a mini-skirt
Walk out on to the street
And come home covered in dirt
Still she doesnt see
The need to be rescued
Cuz shes thinks shes in love
With the man she's next to
Chorus:
Married to others while the shit is goin on
Nothing he does will ever seem to be wrong
Long nights ahead but still she wont be gone
Another ex con living off a welfare mom
Doesn't care at all about the life she lives
Every sin against her is one she forgives
Nightmares of passing this on to her kids
Moms and ex-cons on a Careerlink's kiss
Outro (spoken):
Shell never even see what shes doing
For that one worthless piece of shit
Shell lay down her own life
Give up every dream she ever had
Spend eternity just trying to make him happy
And shell die alone
No one will shed a tear at her funeral
No one will shed a tear at his
I dont even know what draws them to each other
But youll always find an ex-con with a welfare mother
