She had excuses and she chose to use them, 
She was the victim of unspeakable abuses, 
Her husband was violent, malicious, and distant, 
Her kids now belong to the state of Massachusetts

They've been taken away(Hey! )
They've been taken away

Timmy was a bright one
Tommy's off his head
Mother loved them both the same at least that's what she said
I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS now you've had your chance
The boys who stole your babies
The judges took your rights
You can have your children, over tonight! 

I suppose you are a victim
I suspect you may have lied
If you've lost all ambition won't you give this thing a try
If you can't and you fail you won't be the only loser
These kids don't stand a chance with you in their future! 

They've been taken away
They've been taken away

Timmy was a bright one

I don't predict the future, I don't care about the past
Send them both to DSS now you've had your chance
