I can't help it, if I am smarter than you---
not my fault if you are the fool---
My heart is pure and much stronger than your's
when all you do is bathe is a sewer,
of your anger and hurt
and self-rightous pain
squirming in the dirt--
of your mama's refrain--
bathing in mud of your mama's old pain...
bathing in a mud of your mama's old pain...
we wish you luck and you know your name...
