Blood
Just Jack Lyrics

A kid got stuck on a sliver of silver
A child got injured by getting stuck on a small piece of metal

Watched in the street by a gang of builders
The child was observed on the road by a group of construction workers

Blood running down into the gutter
The child's blood was flowing into the drainage system

Next kid's caught climbing out the window
Another kid was apprehended while attempting to escape from a window

Policeman switched off his Nintendo
The police officer stopped playing his Nintendo game

Mom couldn't do anything but stutter
The mother was so stunned that she could only stammer

Now the first kid's laid out on a stretcher
Now the first child is lying on a stretcher

Red mask scrawled on a hooded sweater
A red pattern was found on a hoodie

Stand back for the defribulator
Everyone was asked to maintain distance for the defibrillator to be used

And the second kid's steady four walls pacing
The second child is restlessly walking around within the four walls of the room

He's thinking about the crime and the time he's facing
He is considering the offence and the duration of time he will have to serve

Mom just said "I'll see you later"
The mother simply said 'goodbye' to her son

And I still love you
The singer declares that he still has affection for the children despite the situation

You'll always be my little soldier
The narration confirms to the child that they will always be cherished like a soldier

Gayle stop dead hanging out the laundry
Gayle stopped abruptly while hanging out clothes in the air

Reggie's dream with the words "I'm horny"
Reggie had a dream where he uttered the phrase 'I am sexually aroused'

Blood drains from my face so quickly
The artist's complexion changes abruptly due to the shock of the circumstances

Mom gets home half an hour later
The mother arrives thirty minutes later

Kicks off her shoes to read the paper
The mom takes off her shoes while reading the newspaper

Gayle just sits there looking sickly
Gayle appears unwell while sitting

Mum says "Baby, what's the matter?"
The mother asks her child what is the issue

Tears fall as she begins to blabber
The mother begins to speak incoherently as she weeps

At that moment Daddy walks in
At that particular moment, the child's father enters the house

An atmosphere a knife could cut through
The environment is so tense that it's suffocating

Mum says "We know what you've been up to"
The mother states they are aware of the child's activities

"I think you should pack your things, don't you?"
The father suggests that the child should start packing their belongings

Blood is always thicker than water
Family bonds are stronger than anything else

Whatever, whatever, whatever you do
The artist will still love the children no matter their actions
