I was born in the back of a Greyhound bus
I was raised by a family that didn't share blood
I survived in the valley of death and dust
Where you won't stand a chance as a man if you don't got the guts

Oh, mama, ma-ma-ma-ma, mama
Would you still love me if you know what I done?

Don't need money
Don't need God
Livin' fast
Is all I got
I got a deathwish
I got a deathwish, baby
Don't need love
Don't need friends
We're all dyin'
In the end
I got a deathwish
I got a deathwish, baby
I got a deathwish

I'm a wicked, twisted, crooked, and bent
I'm a rancid, rotten, dirty fuckin' son of a bitch
I'm a thievin', schemin' lunatic
Steal your wallet out your pocket all just for a fix

Oh, mama, ma-ma-ma-ma, mama
I really need you, mama
To help me get through all this trauma
Would you still love me if you know what I done?

Don't need money (no money)
Don't need God (no God)
Livin' fast (so fast)
Is all I got
I got a deathwish
I got a deathwish, baby
Don't need love (no love)
Don't need friends (no friends)
We're all dyin'
In the end
I got a deathwish
I got a deathwish, baby

I got a deathwish, baby (baby)
I got a deathwish, baby (baby)

No money, no God
No money, no God
No money, no God
No money, no God
