Channel 3 - Separate Peace Lyrics
Dear son, how’ve you been?I got your card and the bottle of ginWhat’s new, let me seeSeems there’s no love left between your mother and meShe gets half the house, I’m getting my shareOf half this life we’ve built in twenty-three yearsBut there’s no guilt, I’ve opened my cageYou’ll like my new girl, she’s about your age, oh yeaCan you blame me? Separate peaceI’ll do what’s right, what’s right for meAnd I’ve found my separate peaceUnderstand me, can’t you see, I don’t careAnd son, your mother’s just fineI see her in the market from time to timeShe got drunk, wrecked the carTrying to get home from the corner barThis life’s too cold to be straightI guess a little drink, it helps her escapeShe’s gave up, disillusioned in menBut in that little bottle she’s found a new friendCan you blame me? Separate peaceDo what’s right, what’s right for meAnd I’ve found my separate peaceUnderstand me, can’t you see, I don’t careUnderstand me, can’t you seeLet me go, just set me freeOh son, I almost forgotYour brother left his body in a parking lotI guess it happens all the timeThese goddamn kids cross the needle and lineWhat happened, I can’t understandHe left so early, he was such a young manOh well, now he’s just goneAnd are you coming home for the holidays, son? Oh yeaCan you blame me? Separate peaceDo what’s right, what’s right for meAnd I’ve found my separate peaceUnderstand me, can’t you see[x2]I don’t care
