I have taken all the blame
Broke down, cussed out, locked up
Gone down in flames
And I have paid such a heavy price
The slings and arrows of life
Wounded my pride
Back and forth I’ve answered every call
I never once gave up once through it all
‘Cause I feel like the bastard son
Of the vile and unlucky ones
Riding off in the desert sun
A sick dog whose been put to sleep
A priest kicked out the rectory
For senseless violence and revelry
(Don’t think I’m the only one
Knocked down and spit upon
A short while til my day is done)
I feel like the sun
Shining down on the lucky ones
But inside I’m still burning up
My dark side at night and I curse the day
It’s a foolish wish to think I’ll ever change
Until my last sunset goes down
Gonna keep on shining bright ’til I burn out
You can block me out or curse my name
For all your rainy days I’ll take the blame
Broke down, cussed out, locked up
Gone down in flames
And I have paid such a heavy price
The slings and arrows of life
Wounded my pride
Back and forth I’ve answered every call
I never once gave up once through it all
‘Cause I feel like the bastard son
Of the vile and unlucky ones
Riding off in the desert sun
A sick dog whose been put to sleep
A priest kicked out the rectory
For senseless violence and revelry
(Don’t think I’m the only one
Knocked down and spit upon
A short while til my day is done)
I feel like the sun
Shining down on the lucky ones
But inside I’m still burning up
My dark side at night and I curse the day
It’s a foolish wish to think I’ll ever change
Until my last sunset goes down
Gonna keep on shining bright ’til I burn out
You can block me out or curse my name
For all your rainy days I’ll take the blame
