Strong showing for the last verse, 4 of the top 5.
Also I have much love for some parents, but lol at the other line in the top five being "but not me, right, guys?"

Think the votes for "They may not mean to, but they do." was based on double-meaning, as discussed upthread

Yeah it's very much a line that can be read as apology or condemnation or just a shrug all of which came up itt

The Verse This Be
It deepens like a coastal shelf.And don’t have any kids yourself.Man hands on misery to man.They may not mean to, but they do.
Get out as early as you can,They fuck you up, your mum and dad.Who half the time were soppy-sternBy fools in old-style hats and coats,
But they were fucked up in their turnAnd add some extra, just for you.They fill you with the faults they hadAnd half at one another’s throats.
