| I’ve made some bad choices I have failed more than once
|
| I have taken chances even when they did not come
|
| I was here at the beginning I will be here at the end
|
| when I got strong I got lucky till my strength ran out again.
|
| with your values of fear and deceit
|
| your self important impotent way of life decrees
|
| that every one should worship you
|
| down on bended knees
|
| I have risen up from the ashes of my own defeat
|
| my family my friends and my fans were calling me
|
| It seemed like a voice from a half remembered forgotten dream
|
| I thought it was over, but over’s not what it seems
|
| Your hedonistic head on a stick
|
| is what I would pay real money to see on live TV
|
| With some friends from Texas would laugh with me
|
| at you the pale and impaled
|
| You haven’t faced what I’ve faced
|
| You haven’t fought what I’ve fought
|
| You haven’t been on the floor
|
| and tried to come back for more
|
| You haven’t lost what I’ve lost
|
| You haven’t won what I’ve won
|
| You haven’t been where I’ve been
|
| You haven’t done what I’ve done
|
| Unless you lived how I lived
|
| unless you did what I did
|
| you think you know who I am
|
| just by looking at me
|
| You judge me |
