Once i knew this boy
you wanted what you could get if you wanted
it's so bad
why did you go and take it out in trade instead

my momma cried
she shook and wandered off to a different place
my daddy couldn't make things bettter then
if he couldn't say it

wait around and maybe i'll
forget about it after awhile
but instead i like to think ahead
'til they find you dead

skipping out on god is bad
but not worse than mitigating it
that's why i don't make the time to hope or pray
so i'm just gonna shine in the brillance
of the only one
who's gotten you behind

wait around and maybe i'll
forget about it after awhile
but instead i like to think ahead
'til they find you dead

wait around and maybe i'll
forget about it after awhile
but instead i like to think ahead
'til i find a bag

and get my turn in effigy
you'll burn
