Born face down in the dirt
born with mud in my eyes
born kicked in the teeth
born a loser to life
So put me on that pedestal
so everyone can see
and listen to the gospel
of the living mockery
Yes I will be sanctified
Once negatively spent
every single day
A tortured beaten soul
In every single way
I'm such a goddamned fool
For living the way I do
But I play the hand I'm given
not the hands I choose
I will be sanctified!
Now the hero of the masses
The King of the word
A disciple to conviction
It's obvious yet absurd
How someone's way of living
Can become so converse
From pauper to prince
A blessing to a curse
But I will be sactified!
