lyrics

I came into this world naked,
but I won't leave it the same way you wrecked it.
I don't know what in hell you expected to save you from yourself.

I would rather die than to live for nothing
lying in the grave knowing I stood for something
bigger than myself or than I'll ever be.
God save my soul from the American dream.

So damn my pride and my family,
and every single thing that's keeping you from me.
I'd rather my hand sever the tree
than for your axe to ever meet my complacency.

Where you saw a cross I only saw a tree
and where you saw grace I said well is there enough for a man like me
for whore like me, a thief like me, for a wretch like me, for a swine like me?

Even if I spent every dime I saved
I could never pay back all the mistakes I've made
and damn the day that I forgot
that I need you because you're everything I'm not.

God, (won't you) damn the American dream.

To hell with the lies there is only one way, only one truth, only one life.
