Wake, wake, I gotta wake up Stay, stay, I gotta stay tough Shove, shove, I gotta shove back When the world's at large Tell me, do I fight back? Now stab, grab the cash and go Tell me who here's hit an all-time low? No need to rat, no need to tell I've got a shotgun filled with shotgun shells For the first, first one to tempt me Or gas me up I've got a tank on empty It's days like this where I'm not too friendly It's hard out there please don't resent me I'm human too but it's fools like you Who chain me up and then let me loose I might just flip the thought is daunting I stick to what my father taught me
Father tell me what I've learned In 26 years since birth Nothing's wasted if it's earned When the meek inherit Earth
Stop, stop before you judge me You have good reason to begrudge me I know I've been self-centered trust me I hate it too I feel disgusting This empty feeling's sinking in I hide beneath my sheepish skin It only ends when I begin To take the time to seek within
Father tell me now, what went wrong? I haven't figured it out in oh-so long Father tell me now, what went wrong? I gotta get back to where I'm from
Father tell me what I've learned In 26 years since birth Nothing's wasted if it's earned When the meek inherit Earth Father tell me what I've learned In 26 years since birth Nothing's wasted if it's earned When the meek inherit Earth
