lyrics

"We have to honor our parents."
"We need to respect them, thank them for everything they've done in our lives"

Respect ain't so easily earned,
Ain't so easily learned by a badly burned daughter
Who doesn't quite deem in imperative
To honor thy mother and father

When I was a babe I was heaven-bound
Washed by the Lord's holy water
"Amen" said the priest,
"Now you're one of the flock"
Well, I think we're just sheep for the slaughter

I don't need the Lord or Jesus to save me
God already failed me
So tell 'em thanks a lot for that shit that you gave me
I'm so glad you made me

"Some parents are difficult to honor"
"And the reason is, they've not been good parents"

Ladies and gentlemen gather 'round
I'm a freak show, a train wreck that's going down
And all of the hatred I carry
Brings me down

And for all the delicate fools who say that I'm crazy,
Can you really blame me?
After all, I survived the abuse dealt by people who named me
Of course I'm still angry

"Okay now we're gonna say the Lord's prayer"
"Our Father who art in heaven, hallow be thy name"
" And kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"
"Give us this day our daily bread"
"But deliver us from evil forever and ever, Amen"

"They've been domineering, they've been controlling, they've been abusive"
"But does that exempt a person from honoring them?"

"I love you, but I can't allow you to interfere in my life"
