[Intro]
No TV, no dessert
I was punished for saying a dirty word
But the man who killed my brother sleeps in a clean bed
He gets dessert and TV
And a roof over his head
[Verse 1]
Now I'm a sister to no one
And my family tree
Is my mom and dad
And the memory
[Chorus]
Don't kill the fucker that killed my brother
Punish him
Don't kill the fucker that killed my brother
Punish him
[Verse 2]
Let me sing into his ear
Every day of every year
So he won't forget what he's done
Killed my only brother, my mother's only son
[Verse 3]
Because thе victims of murder
Aren't just the onеs who are killed
And I want to keep living
With a hole that can't be filled
[Chorus]
Don't kill the fucker that killed my brother
Punish him
Don't kill the fucker that killed my brother
Punish him
[Verse 4]
'Cause I'm a sister to no one
And my family tree
Is my mom and dad
And the memory
