Oh dear mother why did you give me a birth |
|
I didn't ask to be born |
|
Oh dear father can't you see what you've done |
|
I'm not the one you wanted me to become |
|
|
|
A coward I am and a good-for-nothing |
|
Still I can walk over you |
|
When my head is down and I'm in distress |
|
Moonshine is my gentle mistress |
|
|
|
A drunkard I am and a yokel, too |
|
Still I can walk over you |
|
My hand is poor and I have to bluff |
|
But cheating to win is not even enough |
|
|
|
Walking alone, testing the water |
|
Hiding skeletons in my closet |
|
|
|
A coward, a drunktard, a withdrawn, a stranger |
|
|
|
What the hell |
|
I feel no shame |
|
What the hell |
|
I fell no shame |
|
|
|
So dear mother why did you give me a birth |
|
I didn't ask to be born |
|
So dear father can't you see what you've done |
|
I'm not the one you wanted me to become |
|
|
|
Walking alone, testing the water |
|
Hiding skeletons in my closet |
|
|
|
A coward, a drunktard, a withdrawn, a stranger |
