Self-loathing..... It really doesn't do the Self any good.
But at times you just have to stand in front of the mirror and ask yourself -
Who am I? What do I stand for? What have I done with My Life? What do I have to Show for It?
And for me, honestly, there's been a few high points....
I got a good education....
I raised a couple of good kids....
Yep - that's about it.
For the most part with the exception of the above, I've kinda wasted my Life.
As I'm fond of saying, I am the Greatest Underachiever of All Time.
When I was 20, I knew I had it.... The World was My Oyster.... I was Young, Strong, Good-Looking, Smart, Ambitious and In Love.
But the Bad in Me did away with All the Good in My Life.
With My First Love, My First Marriage, My Second Marriage and My Career.
And Finally after Failing at all the Things that Matter, after it was Too Late, I decided to try to Save what was Left of My Life.
And to that end, I guess I've been successful.
Some say I've simply ran away from my life. Abandoned my Failures and went into Seclusion.
Because I just couldn't face the Day and my Failures.
And in the Land of Enchantment, People look at me and talk to me and say....
"But You're such a Good Guy".
If only they knew how I look in the mirror every day and ask....
"Is there any Good left in Me?"
"Good Man"
I want to be a good man, I want to see God
I want to be faithful but I know that I’m not
I want to be a good man, I want to do right
I don’t wanna be a criminal for the rest of my life
Everything that I've done before
Has brought me back down to my knees
I’m crying out to you, Lord
It’s getting harder and harder to see
If there’s good left in me?
Is there any good left in..ME!!!
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be be a good man, I wanna be a saved
I want to be a free man but I feel like a slave
and I’m crying out to you, Lord
It’s getting harder and harder to see
If there’s good left in me?
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left?
Pull me from the darkness, lift me back into the light
Fill this empty vessel, fill this hole I have inside
Am I worth forgiveness, I can’t make myself believe
Show me that you’re listening and tear this devil out of me
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
I want to be a good man
Is there good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be faithful but I know that I’m not
I want to be a good man, I want to do right
I don’t wanna be a criminal for the rest of my life
Everything that I've done before
Has brought me back down to my knees
I’m crying out to you, Lord
It’s getting harder and harder to see
If there’s good left in me?
Is there any good left in..ME!!!
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be be a good man, I wanna be a saved
I want to be a free man but I feel like a slave
and I’m crying out to you, Lord
It’s getting harder and harder to see
If there’s good left in me?
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left?
Pull me from the darkness, lift me back into the light
Fill this empty vessel, fill this hole I have inside
Am I worth forgiveness, I can’t make myself believe
Show me that you’re listening and tear this devil out of me
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
I want to be a good man
I want to be a good man
Is there good left in me?
I want to be a good man
Is there any good left in me?
And with bad knees, bad shoulders, a bad back and a bad attitude, the best self-assessment I can do is that there....
"Ain't much left of me".
"Ain't Much Left Of Me"
Well my fall from grace was a sight to see
Good turned to bad and bad turned to misery
I found out what it is and what it's not
And all I asked for sure ain't what I got
Well I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil till I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well I'm still holding on and there ain't much left of me
I thought that I'd hit bottom but I ain't there yet
'Cause you'd be surprised at how low a man can get
I watched all them dreams slip through my hands
But now I'm getting outta here while I still can
Well I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil till I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well I'm still holding on and there ain't much left of me
That's right
Well my fall from grace was a sight to see
Nobody even cared what became of me
Do I have to get down on my knees?
And ask the Lord above, have mercy, please
Well I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil till I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well I'm still holding on and there ain't much left of me
There ain't much left of me
I said there ain't much left of me, no
Yeah well there ain't much left of me
Good turned to bad and bad turned to misery
I found out what it is and what it's not
And all I asked for sure ain't what I got
Well I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil till I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well I'm still holding on and there ain't much left of me
I thought that I'd hit bottom but I ain't there yet
'Cause you'd be surprised at how low a man can get
I watched all them dreams slip through my hands
But now I'm getting outta here while I still can
Well I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil till I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well I'm still holding on and there ain't much left of me
That's right
Well my fall from grace was a sight to see
Nobody even cared what became of me
Do I have to get down on my knees?
And ask the Lord above, have mercy, please
Well I been rained on, rode hard and put up wet
Danced with the devil till I'm in debt
Took all I got and there ain't much left of me
I been knocked down, drug out and left for dead
Barely held together by a few old threads
Hey I'm still here, there ain't much left to see, no
Well I'm still holding on and there ain't much left of me
There ain't much left of me
I said there ain't much left of me, no
Yeah well there ain't much left of me
Wishing for a "Do-Over" on this old Life....
A New Life - lyrics
breakin down
ive been told
too much drinkin
has taken its toll
cried out for mercy
for my soul
but its to late now
ive lost control
ive tried to change
the way i feel
i live my life
by my own will
theres room for hatred
theres room for pain
i cut my losses
recognized my gains
grant me a new life
i wanna do it all again
i didn't do it right the first time 2x
breakin down
ive been told
that too much drinkin
has taken its toll
i cried out for mercy
for my soul
but its to late now
ive lost control
grant me a new life
i wanna do it all again
i didn't do it right the first time 2x
all again i didn't do it right the first time
i wanna do it all again i didn't do it right the first time
ive been told
too much drinkin
has taken its toll
cried out for mercy
for my soul
but its to late now
ive lost control
ive tried to change
the way i feel
i live my life
by my own will
theres room for hatred
theres room for pain
i cut my losses
recognized my gains
grant me a new life
i wanna do it all again
i didn't do it right the first time 2x
breakin down
ive been told
that too much drinkin
has taken its toll
i cried out for mercy
for my soul
but its to late now
ive lost control
grant me a new life
i wanna do it all again
i didn't do it right the first time 2x
all again i didn't do it right the first time
i wanna do it all again i didn't do it right the first time
With all the damage that's been done that I can't go back and fix, at this point,
All I wanna do is live my Mother Fuckin' Life!!!
"Jekyll And Hyde"
There's just so much God damned weight on my shoulders
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Supposed to be happy, but I'm only getting colder
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
There's just so much God damned weight on my shoulders
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Supposed to be happy, but I'm only getting colder
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
Is there so much God damned weight on your shoulders
That you can't just live your motherfucking life
The story's getting old and my heart is getting colder
I just wanna be Jekyll, but I'm always fighting Hyde
You've got rocks in your head, I can hear them rolling 'round
You can say that you're above it, but you're always falling down
Is there a method to your madness? Is it all about pride?
Everyone I know, they've got a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
If I wasn't so deranged, could I ever face the pain?
If I ever were to change, would the song remain the same?
Oh, yo, yo
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Oh, yo, yo
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Oh, yo, yo
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Supposed to be happy, but I'm only getting colder
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
There's just so much God damned weight on my shoulders
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Supposed to be happy, but I'm only getting colder
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
Is there so much God damned weight on your shoulders
That you can't just live your motherfucking life
The story's getting old and my heart is getting colder
I just wanna be Jekyll, but I'm always fighting Hyde
You've got rocks in your head, I can hear them rolling 'round
You can say that you're above it, but you're always falling down
Is there a method to your madness? Is it all about pride?
Everyone I know, they've got a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
If I wasn't so deranged, could I ever face the pain?
If I ever were to change, would the song remain the same?
Oh, yo, yo
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Oh, yo, yo
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo
All I'm trying to do is live my motherfucking life
Oh, yo, yo
Wear a smile on my face, but there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, there's a demon inside
Oh, yo, yo, just like Jekyll and Hyde
Oh, yo, yo, all this anger inside
Oh, yo, yo, I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
