Preacher - Why I Scream Lyrics

For all my sorrow
For all my pain
For all you people
Driving me insane
That's why I scream

I'm just sittin' here thinking about
Something called the American dream
I'm just sittin' here thinking about
Morality dressed up in a scene
I'm just sitting here thinking about
All the lies you spooned into to me
For the betrayal,
For the obscene,
For all the times you beat the shit right out of me
That's why I scream

I'm just sittin here thinking about
How I make my body a whore
From the time I open until I close
My butt's an open door
I'm just sittin here thinking about
Your twisted empathy,
You kept her inside, even let her abide
Even though she gutted me
That's why I scream

This is how I scream

I'm just sittin here thinking about
How they all just want to blame me
It's a two-way street, match your mouth to your feet, or just shut up
I'm just sittin here thinking about
A life of ministry
Giving everything
Suffering all of the pain
Then the butchers kill all of the dreams
I'm just sittin here thinking about
A love made into misery
I didn't learn then, I don't know now
Pulling me apart at the seams
This is why I scream
