lyrics

Hook:
So many things I could write about
But what could I write to make em shout out loud
Pay it no mind Penn put the pen down
And pen a new line that'll amp up a live crowd


1st Verse

Maybe I should write a song about my father
Than I think to myself why bother
I would rather grow up as a bastard
Then see my mother get abused and battered

There's broken homes and those that were shattered
And I think that I grew up in the latter
Climbed the ladder then I couldn't get down
and the higher ups told me not to make a sound

I get angry when I start to remember
The child born dead on the first of December
and maybe that's the reason why i can't relate
Cause on my first day I met fate

A walking corpse for most of my life
Until I found peace in the arms of my wife
But a piece of me was left on that table
And it condemned me to live this lifelong fable


2nd Verse

Maybe I should write a song about being a kid
About a time when I could actually grin
When I played the game and thought I could win
Burnt the cards and then turned to sin

Never had friends so I had to pretend
That I wasn't hearing voices inside of my head
And then one day a counselor called me crazy
From damage I sustained from my days as a baby

Maybe just maybe I could live and learn
And quit swimming laps in an underground cistern
and then smoke herb with my brother and sister
Meet lady luck and get the chance to kiss her

My mother was the one who taught me to dream
It's about trying hard and not what you achieve
Take your scars and make em marks on your sleeve
Cause it's rare to get a second chance to breath


3rd Verse

Or maybe I should write a song about you
You went to school and still don't have a clue
About how your dad never had the time
and how your clever mama couldn't speak her mind

About how you never been in a fight
And that's the reason why you drink all night
Gotta be drunk to relate to others
Cause you can't get a sober chick between the covers

Any ex-lover could see your facade
So you turned away and placed your faith in god
Married for a year and now divorced
And labeled as a slut by your former cohorts

What's your defense oh you like abortions
Feel like you didn't get the proper porportion
Stop telling everybody that you're special
Go cry yourself to sleep in your run down rental.
