i've been working on this motherfucking song for like six years or maybe more, and even sort of hard, for me, since the summer of 2000 when what had been the song disappeared into the bridge. and i wrote some more on it today so it goes like this:
dear lord i do believe i've sinned again/
inside my head, my dirty head/
it's always been the problem.
malcolm, my brother, you'd be surprised/
i hate my blood, every drop of it/
plymouth rock, it slips and slides/
i fall down, or it falls on me./
{bridge}/
this kid i know lives in phoenix/
in a ghetto/
where white kids are kept./
you get in your car/
you drive real far/
but there's never anywhere to get./
you drive in circles and you/
get a taste for speed./
the only one in the world i wanna be/
is neil young./
i was sold on sadness./
o y o y o y o y o y o neil boy/
why?/
it's pretty stupid./
{end bridge}/
matthew, my brother, what can i say?/
it wasn't me who made the world this way./
i'm all i've got, o what am i?/
how should i live? and if not now when?/
dear lord i do believe i've sinned again/
inside my head, my dirty head/
it's always been the problem./
sweet jesus, you're so strange/
you wanna hang up on that cross/
oh say? can you see my house from there?/
can't you see i languish?/
i'm confused and anguished/
i'm held prisoner by your faith.
