Ive felt the sting of Gods right hand

I find him after school in bed
And dont know if hes drunk or dead
A slow but steady breath means
Live to wreck another day

Its terrible to cross my mind
That I should do him in this time
And I could find a better life
Become a burden on the state

You cant run when its all you know
Youll just have to wait to go

(Guitar just plays C for the bridge)

And you cant hurt me cause Ive been true
Your horrid life caught up to you

But I got bruises that you cant see
If theres a god, take him from me.

End on C
