Judge me

I've made some bad choices I have failed more than once
 I have taken chances even when they did not come
 I was here at the beginning I will be here at the end
 when I got strong I got lucky till my strength ran out again.
 with your values of fear and deceit
 your self important impotent way of life decrees
 that every one should worship you
 down on bended knees
 I have risen up from the ashes of my own defeat
 my family my friends and my fans were calling me
 It seemed like a voice from a half remembered forgotten dream
 I thought it was over, but over's not what it seems
 Your hedonistic head on a stick
 is what I would pay real money to see on live TV
 With some friends from Texas would laugh with me
 at you the pale and impaled
 You haven't faced what I've faced
 You haven't fought what I've fought
 You haven't been on the floor
 and tried to come back for more
 You haven't lost what I've lost
 You haven't won what I've won
 You haven't been where I've been
 You haven't done what I've done
 Unless you lived how I lived
 unless you did what I did
 you think you know who I am
 just by looking at me
 You judge me
