lyrics

Ever since I got up today,
I’ve wanted to go to bed.
It seems like ever since I was born,
I’ve been wishin’ I was dead.
And I need brotherly love
just like a bullet in my head.
I wish everyone would get away from me
‘cuz I’m startin’ to see red.

(Chorus)
Bein’ a child of God,
well, it don’t please me as it should.
And given his gift of free will,
it don’t free me like they said it would.
You know, a deal with the devil
is startin’ to sound good.

I was born into a race
who has survived by bein’ mean;
the empire they built
is a mindless, money grubbin’ moron’s wet dream.
And if I stay, it’ll kill me,
but I don’t have the strength to leave,
so I gasp for air that can’t be spared
‘cuz the apocalypse needs to breathe.

So I went down to the crossroads
just like Robert Johnson of old
‘cuz that’s where you go for deals with the devil,
or at least that’s what I’m told.
But all I saw was storm clouds,
and all I felt was cold.
And all I heard was a belly laugh
from heaven as the thunder rolled.
