Didn't I take you home?
Didn't I clean you up?
Didn't you sit by my fire?
Didn't I fill your cup?
Then the very next day you were back on the street
"Born To Be Wild" playing in our head
Blue suede shoes on your feet
You're bent on self-destruction
Bent on vain deductions
Child, you're bent
Bent on self-delusions
Bent on vain conclusions
Child, you're bent
What's wrong with this cart?
Why won't it push straight?
It keeps pulling me to the left
The wheels are bent and out of place
Isn't it time you gave up?
Isn't time you realized?
You're too old for these games
You're too smart for these lies
You're bent on self-destruction
Bent on vain deductions
Child, you're bent
Bent on self-delusions
Bent on vain conclusions
Child, you're bent
What's that you say?
There's Someone above me?
He knows all my mistakes
Yet, you say He still loves me?
Can I reach out my hand
To the Man who calmed the sea?
He calmed the storm so long ago
Can He calm the storm in me?
'Cause I'm bent on self-destruction
Bent on vain deductions
Lord, I'm bent
Bent on self-delusions
Bent on vain conclusions
Lord, I'm bent
