An Unwritten Life

This is what I am, inside. But... 
Somewhere along the way, my hopefulness turned to sadness 
Somewhere along the way , my sadness turned to bitterness 
Somewhere along the way, my bitterness turned to anger 
Somewhere along the way, my anger turned to vengeance 

And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it 
And the ones who deserved it, they'll never understand it. 
Yes, I know I'm going to Hell in a purple basket 
'Least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket... 

How could you be, oh 
So perfect for me? 
Why can't you ignore, oh 
The things I did before? 

Somewhere along the way, exacting vengeance gave excitement 
Somewhere along the way, that excitement turned to pleasure 
Somewhere along the way, that pleasure turned to madness 
But sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain 

And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it 
Those who helped me along the way, I smacked 'em as I thanked 'em 
Yes, I know I'm going to Hell in a leather jacket 
'Least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket 

And all that I can do is sing a song of faded glory 
And all you got to do is sit there, look great, and make 'em horny 
Together we'll sing songs and tell exaggerated stories 
About the way we feel today and tonight and in the morning... 

How could you be, oh 
So perfect for me? 
Why can't you ignore, oh 
The things I did before? 

Take all your fears, pretend they're all true 
Take all your plans, pretend they fell through 
But that's what it's like... 
That's what it's like for most people in this world 
The rich or the poor Oh, 
Muslims or Jews Oh, 
When roles are reversed Oh, 
Opinions are too..No oh oh 

That's all I'm gonna say now 
Before they come knocking on my door now
