i said a-hey hear me father, because i have sinned
I can't find my body and I'm breaking again
All those nights i spent in heat are done by now
I was always a lass
you can bet your ass
Bring me a gin n tonic, lemme tell you a tale
I got a lot of pain stuck on my trail
Never really wanted to fight, cause I’ll never give up
I didn’t pick no side
Now the fight is mine
A lot of fuss n’ fighting, it ain’t up to me
You feel a lot confusing you right from within
By the time you’re done, you feel light years away
And you think I chose this plight?
God with all their might
Couldn’t stop a mantis from praying the blues
The bible thumper tells me that I have to die too
Whatever demographic doesn’t mean that much to me
Why am I such a sight?
Is it fun to take my rights?
I’m leaving this for Texas, gonna see my love
Guess i’ll get a permit, keep me safe from harm
You get your kicks from hurting while I get high on life
I’m gonna hit the pipe
Until the fascist dies
You bet your ass I’m coming, but ain’t coming for you
I’ll save the revelation for the judges judge
This little commie bitch is here to make the news
I can’t seem to care
You’ll see that once I’m there
I’m reaching destination, you should step aside
You better don’t start fussing cause you’re asinine
Just let me get the groceries n i’ll be outta your life
I will see you tonight
Right on channel nine
