Mother Made Me Do It

Lyrics

I feel like Dostoyevsky
 Cause I've been working all my life
 And never seen light
 Or maybe Joseph Conrad
 I feel the darkness wrap around
 Till it's so like underground
 And the library walls
 In this house of obscene calls
 "It's alive!"
 I have a literary side
 It only comes out at night
 And if you get to close I'll bite
 With every line I write the curse
 Poetry and
 When the madman enters left
 I am a caveman on the hunt
 From the back the side the front
 It takes me inside
 Father made me do it
 Brother made me do it
 The system made me do it
 And I'll do it again!
 I was raised a Christian boy
 They sent me to a public school
 They sat me in the back row
 It was a marvelous disguise
 I was just one of the guys
 And we would smoke out in the parking lot
 Back there I learned a lot
 Hit me with your best shot
 And when I think of all that now
 Those days seem quite a blur
 It's as if I never were
 Like I've always been this age
 Always waiting on the next page
 Always praying for my big break
 I feel like William Blake
 Staring at the sun
 Blinded by fiction
 Father made me do it
 Brother made me do it
 The system made me do it
 And I'll do it again!
 Here come the kamikaze's
 Open the windows wide
 We're going on a ride
 And we'll linger on the past
 Though the future's within grasp
 We're stuck here in the now
 And it soon becomes the then
 And this is where we begin
 The end
 The end
 The end
 The end
