Watch Me Shine

Like a rat on a sinking ship
It strains to save its skin
Trying hard to crack the whip
My body reeks with sin

On the TV the preacher's preach
About a better world
I had to laugh when I read the speech
And take it for what it's worth

And if you think it's fixed
Then you're just a fool
You can't change the world
When you can't even find the truth

I don't want to live without her
Even though at times I've lost my mind

Hear the sound of the crying kid

Count how many tears
Hear the laugh of the drunken dad
Count how many beers

Into the schools the teachers teach
About the sins of the past
Blaming others for the problems here
They can kiss my ass

And if you think it's fixed
Then you're just a fool
You can't change the world
When you can't even find the truth

I don't want to live without her
Even though at times I've lost my mind
I will never give up on her
Just give me one more chance
And watch me shine
