The Bastard's Way

Don't ever put your faith in me I'll only let ya down

Don't pick me up when I'm stumbling just leave me on the ground

And right or wrong I'll stick by the things I say

And I couldn't give a shit if ya go or if ya stay

[Chorus]

I don't need your pity and I don't need your bullshit lies

And I don't' want your opinion on the faults of my life

You can talk all you want but I won't hear a word you say

I'm an unforgiving prick and I'm just living the bastard's way

When my day has come and I lie beneath the dirt

People gather smiles wide and poor booze upon the earth

They'll remember all the good times but only talk about the bad

They'll drink or say whatever it takes to keep from getting sad

[Chorus]

And on my mother's doorstep lies a single red rose

And a story of a broken man that a mother would never know

I showed her the best and the worst days of her life

And I promised her that one day I would take her for my wife

But she knew it was all a lie the moment I left her bed

She said "your boy was a son of a bitch and I'm glad he's fucking dead"

[Chorus]
