On Socialization
When I was a kid, I never had a lot To say I was terrified of humans,
I had to find God and be saved
And I hated presentations, and
I hated show and tell
Cause when you're little and Invisible,
Speaking up is hell
And I didn't play with Barbies, Other kids thought I was weird
When that bell would ring for Recess
All my friends would disappear
I was quiet and I was lonely, and No one seemed to mind
So I'd throw myself onto the Ground and pray that I'd be Blinded by the flashing light of Salvation penetrating through the Dark
But instead I'd wind up breathless In the backseat of my parents' car
Mortality is feeble, happiness is Grim, hell is other people
Redemption's fitting in,
When I got a little older
I finally came to terms with the Crushing price of godliness, Thepromised land is earned
So I got a job and I bought a car
I bought a life and friends
It costs a hell of a lot less to sell Yourself than to repent for sins
And if you're gonna live,
You might as well live for the day
All strung out and high as hell,
Just giving yourself away
And the one I love, she ditched me Cause I was out of control
But I had drugs and money,
So fuck her, I'm rock and roll
Mortality is feeble, happiness is Grim, hell is other people
Redemption's fitting in,
When I turned 18
I packed up and I moved out,
I was never higher
Pretty soon I bottomed out,
Pills and coke and acid
And whatever I could drink
The well was never dry and
I could bleed into the sink
And I'd think of God and Christ
And razors and what my folks Would say
When they tossed handfuls of dirt And flowers into my open grave
How could she do this when she Had so much to give
But life is, life is, life is, life is, life Is fucking shit
And mortality is feeble, happiness Is grim, hell is other people
Redemption's fitting in
I had to find God and be saved
And I hated presentations, and
I hated show and tell
Cause when you're little and Invisible,
Speaking up is hell
And I didn't play with Barbies, Other kids thought I was weird
When that bell would ring for Recess
All my friends would disappear
I was quiet and I was lonely, and No one seemed to mind
So I'd throw myself onto the Ground and pray that I'd be Blinded by the flashing light of Salvation penetrating through the Dark
But instead I'd wind up breathless In the backseat of my parents' car
Mortality is feeble, happiness is Grim, hell is other people
Redemption's fitting in,
When I got a little older
I finally came to terms with the Crushing price of godliness, Thepromised land is earned
So I got a job and I bought a car

And if you're gonna live,

Redemption's fitting in
