Like A Child

(Borg)
Sometimes I could steal something real
Sometimes I could steal money from my old mans wallet
When he didn´t know whether he was givin´ it away
Or maybe lost it somehow yesterday
When I go to work it´s like I feel ashamed
Why do every single human have to live in pain
All I wanna do is just play my guitar
`Cause I´m a long haired boy
Just a singer in a rock 'n' roll band, yes I am
Everybody needs just a little good friend
To keep up the good mood when the bottle don't help
A blond bitch took my heart and I´m doing OK
Just a small town boy with rock 'n' roll on my mind
Sometimes I get drunk
Sometimes I get laid
And sometimes you can kiss my ass and don´t feel no shame
As long as you respect me for who I am
Gonna kill some time as a long haired rock 'n' roll star
They say you need some help
Gotta pray to the lord
They say you need some help
But I´ll do alright
You see, I´m not even sure if he exists or more
And I don´t give a damn what you believe in, now that´s for sure
They say I´m like a child
But they don´t know what a child is like
Almighty please tell me what to do
`Cause they say I believe in you
Gonna sit out in the sun and wondering what I´ve done
You think I´m nuts when I don´t play your game
So listen to a story that I have to tell
You don´t know a thing, honey, what life is about
I´m going home now, honey, tell your story-crap another time
They say you need some help
Gotta pray to the lord
They say you need some help
But I´ll do alright
You see, I´m not even sure if he exists or more
And I don´t give a damn what you believe in, now that´s for sure
They say I´m like a child
But they don´t know what a child is like
Almighty please tell me what to do
`Cause they say I believe in you
They say I´m like a child
But they don´t know what a child is like
Almighty please tell me what to do
`Cause they say I believe in you
