MR. MURPHY'S SON
Words and Music by Richard X. Heyman

He blames himself
For every single tear that falls
And all his wealth
Can't beat the cost of feeling small
He's now a testament to what he could have
done
He's incomplete, he can't compete
He's Mr. Murphy's son
When he was young
His father taught him to be strong
The rope was hung
Hard as he tried he did it wrong
He's now a legacy of what he could have won
Out of control, he plays the role
Of Mr. Murphy's son
He spent his life
Too insecure to even try
Even his wife
Could not undo the knot he tied
He's now a monument of where he had begun
He never looks you in the eye
He's Mr. Murphy's son
He's now a legacy of what he could have won
Out of control he plays the role
Of Mr. Murphy's son
