Kids That Never Got Spanked

see mug shots every night

Same stupid look right on their face

Like no one ever told him

"Son you can't rob that bank"

Like no one ever told him

"Don't be selling crack off of main street"

And I ain't nothing like 'em

'Cause daddy's belt loops sure could sing

And I see the world so clearly now that 30 years have passed

I deserved 'bout every single whoopin' on my ass

And my ole man never beat me but that line was clear as day

Now the prison's overflowing with kids that never got spanked

I bet some California psychologist

Would tell me that I'm wrong

Then someone breaks into his house

As soon as he gets home

And the burglar's got a crowbar

Then it goes from bad to worse

Why don't you put the burglar in time out

Let me know just how that works

And I see the world so clearly now that 30 years have passed

I deserved 'bout every single whoopin' on my ass

And my ole man never beat me but that line was clear as day

Now the prison's overflowing with kids that never got spanked

Oh they never got spanked

Ain't no sense in lecturing all night there in the kitchen

That wooden spoon's still got the power if you know how to use it

And I see the world so clearly now that 30 years have passed

I deserved 'bout every single whoopin' on my ass

And my ole man never beat me but that line was clear as day

An now the prison's overflowing with kids that never got spanked

No they never got spanked
