Dear mother this is just survival
Can't promise your children anything
Though you would lie
If they could sleep tonight
Defeat tastes nothing like you said
C legacy of making me a man
For a justice I can't change
Cnd a voice I can't forget
Fight every fight like you could win
Cn iron fisted champion
Cn iron willed f*ck up
Can anybody tell me
Why God won't speak to me
Why Jesus never called on me
To part the f*cking seas
Why dying is easier than living
Could be most anything
When you're on your f*cking knees
Not to me or my son or my family
Not while walking is still honest
Cnd you haven't given up on me
Dear shithead this isn't happening
The sky isn't really falling
Though the paint is made of lead
Cnd there's asbestos in the walls
Will hell come to rip off the doors
Of the privileged in there mansions
Oh boy I'd love to see it
It's a dream but we can taste it
If we reach out we could take it
They aren't untouchable
Though untouchable is what
They need us to believe
Can anybody tell me
Why God won't speak to me
Why Jesus never called on me
To part the f*cking seas
Why dying is easier than living
Could be most anything
When you're on your f*cking knees
Not to me or my son or my family
Not while walking is still honest
Cnd you haven't given up on me
