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

Father tell me what I've learned
In twenty-six 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 creeping in
I hide beneath my sheepish skin
It only ends when I begin
To take the time to seek within

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 twenty-six years since birth
Nothing's wasted if it's earned
When the meek inherit Earth

Father tell me what I've learned
In twenty-six years since birth
Nothing's wasted if it's earned
When the meek inherit Earth

Father tell me now, what went wrong?
I gotta get back to where I'm-
