Godspeed little sinner Dragged me to church to eat Jesus Christ I can be a little pessimistic I can be a little critical sometimes Can't sleep so you whisper Now I see through all those little lies But I didn't know better But now I get it I'm sorry that I made you cry Those times the cops came by Mama tried (Mama tried) They fuck you up, your parents do They may not mean to but they do They may not mean to but they do So, they fuck you up, your parents do They may not mean to but they do They may not mean to but they do Didn't raise no quitter I'm still hooked and I think it'll kill me too Caught myself in the mirror And for a second I'd swear that it was you Saw me miss a sitter Didn't miss one game the entire time Didn't care about the winner Doesn't matter as long as you've got your pride And though we'd fight I know they were right They were right They fuck you up, your parents do They may not mean to but they do They may not mean to but they do So, they fuck you up, your parents do Do as I say, not as I do "When I was your age, I was just like you" So, did they love too much? Or was it not enough? You know they're not to blame Because we're all fucked up Those kids will be the death of you They were so sweet but then they grew But now they're fucked up just like you Go! They fuck you up, your parents do (They fuck you up, they fuck you up) They may not mean to but they do They may not mean to but they do So, they fuck you up, your parents do (They fuck you up, they fuck you up) “I love you son” “Yeah, I love you too” When I grow up, yeah, I'll be just like you
