lyrics

Don’t know what your good book means
the priest transfixed, the peacock gotta preen
Sorry people, sorry eyes
Sorry lends no time to sympathize

Man must work, if he’s gonna eat
Gratitude, winter wind and summer heat
Show me this world’s misery
I ain’t the one, can’t pin a thing on me

Drain me dry, your sorry trash
Stole my angel, pocket all the cash
been knocked down, just learn to cheat
and all I got is the dirt beneath my feet

all good souls find their struggles
you just ain’t struggled enough
Lost child who will remain whole?
 finding your place in the rough

Have I earned my saving grace
Even Jesus lost his rightful place
It’s not my fault, all these extra folk
You serve them all, somebody gonna choke

Drain me dry, your sorry trash
Stole my angel, pocket all the cash
been knocked down, just learn to cheat
and all I got is the dirt beneath my feet

all good souls find their struggles
you just ain’t struggled enough
Lost child who will remain whole? 
finding your place in the rough
