Lyrics
I have always thought that, as a rule
Cruelty breeds only the cruel
And that stupid father's sons are stupid
Foolish mother's daughters fools.
My father taught me, quite convincingly
Beatings teaching most effectively
That if someone takes an eye you take an eye
Therefore I, too, am eye-for-eye kind of guy.
But... It's true that even a bat of baseball
Or pipe of lead
Won't teach a lesson to a Идиот*
With de sawdust in his head.
So if anyone can teach a lesson to a foolish man
Perhaps de child can, perhaps a child can
And this little girl, this miracle
Matilda.
