Two,
Three
Don't try to be the best man, be
the best that you can
'cause number one ain't nothing
but the opinion of man
and a man loves death and hate
crime and pain
and kids are into theft and long
lines of 'caine
insanity, profanity, ecstacy and
blasphemy
but as for me I'm just tryin' to
maintain
and it's a damn shame our brains
have been drained
to be crazy and lazy and scared
to make change
and these hard time's I try to be
a role model
but I ain't gonna lie y'all I
still battle a bottle
and a that's my biggest struggle
I ain't no one to follow
sometimes I get the urge to leave
a twelve pack hollow
just writing some of these
sentiments
ain't none of us innocent from
mansions and tenements
whether male or feminine all of
us are guilty of showing a little
ignorance
being resentful, envious and
belligerent
and one day maybe we can figure
it out
but 'til then I guess I'll just
pull this cigarette out
and pull up a chair and open
another brew
and sit down on the porch and do
what I do
because
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
And we people in fast cars
talkin' on cell phones
and answering machines, tryin' to
buy a better laptop
and hell and cigarettes and
sellin' on the internet
and memories are simpler, days
fade in the backdrop
it's like people ain't important
no more, I'm in a store
and I'm scannin' my own
groceries, takin' a man's job
and I'm feeling sick and guilty
and filthy
'cause you can find me on Rehab
dot com
I'm wrong I'm right, I'm right
I'm wrong
and this song is so negative but
it's tight as a bomb
we are liars who admire, hire
liars and why?
'cause the truth is hard to
swallow and we're scared to die
we're playin' with fire but ain't
a prayer to fry
we're tryin' to get to heaven
without the freedom to fly
'cause if we can't cheat 'em we
wanna beat 'em in the eye
we get mad if the see our lie, I
wonder why?
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
I said Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is so strong
You know I'm sittin here thinkin'
three in the morning the T.V.
blinkin'
I'm all alone, on the brink
end of destruction from drinkin'
somebody must be lookin' out
'cause I shoulda died years ago
the demon, the ego, the overdose
the pit in my stomach emotional
depot
my stock about to plummet here we
go
I'm afraid to go to sleep 'cause
maybe this time I ain't gonna
wake up
but somehow I do sunshine and
through my view
if I'm goin' to Hell I'm past due
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he's so strong
Jesus loves me this I know
for the Bible tells me so
little ones to him belong
they are weak but he is strong
he is strong, he's so strong
you know he's so strong y'all
he's so strong y'all
you know he's strong he's strong
he's strong he's strong
