about

I wrote this song during some down time at our studio called The CELL BLOCK Studio where a group I was working with, The Rice Cracker Project, recorded this song. It's a true story of what I went through with the court systems in South King County of Washington state, the most biased injustice system in America. I wrote it back in 2009. It’s pretty much a true story truncated to fit into song form. After losing nearly every battle in court, I won the war because, my son, having enough of the parental alienation from my ex, moved out of her place (we were sharing 50/50 custody) and into mine full time at the age of 13. This particular song deserves to be written in full book form about what truly took place in the three years prior to this (and more) since the story should be heard by everyone, especially if a parent believes the farce that the courts interject, “To do what’s in the best interest(s) of the child” which is only a lie for lawyers to hide behind to allow child abuse directly and/or indirectly. Stephen Prescott helped out with a couple lines on this tune as well.
This is song #470 that I've written.

Recorded at The CELL BLOCK Studio in Auburn, WA.

lyrics

Years Ago You Entered My Life,
Pretended As A Friend Then Lied To Me As My Wife.
You Took Just About Everythin' I Owned
While You Broke The Trust And Split Our Home
In Three. But Not For Free.
Child Support Is A Lie
When You Use It To Disguise
Your Greedy Needs.

Our Son's Account Was Made In Vain
Since You Drained It Dry And Put The Blame On Me.
But You Cheated When You Were With Me
I Threw You Out Right On The Street,
I Was Free. Not Meant To Be!

Child Support Is Obscene,
Financially Raping Me
Unjustly!
(Solo)
You Used Everybody You Knew,
As You Lied To The Courts, But Our Boy, He Knows The Truth.
You Manipulated So Brilliantly,
Without Any Scruples And No Humility,
Which Sickens Me!

Child Support Is To Blame
That Was Used Just Like A Game To Defame Me.
You Don't Need Child Support
When You Lie, Scheme, And Contort! That's Perjury!

The Santairs Auburn, Washington

I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
