lyrics

I think it's safe to say I hate you more and more each day, oh well.
And every time you open up your mouth something new and foul falls right out.
It's not a question of if or when but why right now?
And what's the point in breaking down a bridge that crosses flat ground.

You're not a blessing you're as heaven sent as the rains that flooded the plains and killed all Noahs friends
you're not a child but you sure do scream and cry.

You don't want anything from life except for no one else to win,
it's quite a pity for myself and all your kin.
Coincidence is not a picture to study but a quick glance
and you and me we'er nothing but a happenstance.

You're not a martyr and you're not a saint
you haven't died for shit and you ain't that great.
you're not a child but you sure do scream and cry.
Cry, cry, cry,

Bent what can't be broken
and I'm stuck at good enough
flying high and falling hard
are cut from the same cloth
(all together now)
I tried to kill the devil
but I am his first born son
and I ain't gonna take that kind of hell
from anyone.

I think it's safe to say I need you more and more each day, oh yeah!
It's not a matter of why or how but just right now.
