After all this time I'm a little more than terrified
Eighteen years I've been living a lie!
I've been wasting my life in a clip on tie...
For a slave driver born on the Fourth of July!
I sold my body and soul for the money
and my name on a spot! It's really kinda funny
They baptized me in the company fire
You've got to understand that
I can never be abandoned now...
You call it a life but I don't know why
And it's 1, 2, 3, I'm gonna blame it on the government
4, 5, 6, in the end it all comes back to them
You can have the money back and all of the fame
but I'm gonna keep parking where it says my name!
