| I’ve done things that i’m proud of and things that I ain’t
|
| It all goes to ground in the end
|
| From winner to sinner, from ass-hole to saint
|
| I’ve got no desire to make amends
|
| So sit down beside me and I’ll pour you a drink
|
| Tell you a story or two
|
| About how I was lost in the maze, couldn’t think
|
| Couldn’t act, I didn’t know what to do
|
| I searched for the answers inside and out
|
| From bar-room to self-help to skin
|
| But I never found better than thinking it through
|
| And learning to live with the sin
|
| Only a fool would consider his life to be
|
| More than a fleeting affair
|
| No more will I let down the people I love
|
| And the people who care that I’m there
|
| Now I’m down on my knees and I’m starting to pray
|
| I’m begging you please, show me the way
|
| Yeah, I’m down on my knees and I’m starting to die
|
| God wasn’t listening to what I had to say
|
| I’m gonna say it to him anyway
|
| Said «what were you thinking you crazy old fool?
|
| I’ve lost all my faith in, I never had faith in
|
| I will not have faith in the things that you say» |
| Now let’s all go back home
|
| Well this is my confession of all that I know
|
| And all that has yet to be done
|
| The answers are questions, the truth is a lie
|
| And trust means nothing to no-one
|
| I’ve taken the drugs and I’ve had all the fights
|
| Everything stays just the same
|
| With feverish passion I’ve fought for the right
|
| To refuse to kill and to maim
|
| Sit down beside me and I’ll pour you a drink
|
| Tell you a story or two
|
| About how I was lost in the maze, couldn’t think
|
| Couldn’t act, now I know what to do
|
| I’ll say no to the violence and no to the war
|
| No to corruption and greed
|
| No to the money and no to the law
|
| Loving is all that I need
|
| Now I’m down on my knees but I’m refusing to pray
|
| I’m begging you please, stay out of my way
|
| Yeah, I’m down on my knees and I’m refusing to die
|
| God wasn’t listening to what I had to say
|
| I’m gonna say it to him anyway
|
| Said «what were you thinking you crazy old fool?
|
| I’ve lost all my faith in, I never had faith in
|
| I will not have faith in the things that you say»
|
| Now let’s all go back home |
