lyrics

I've worn a noose and a necklace
I'm the bastard son of peasants
No one will remember me.
I've got more balls than patience.
I've concluded I am ageless
So I never have to learn a damn thing.

[now I've got one foot in a grave, and as the dirt piles on I start to sing]

Let me go. I'm not yours no more.
No more than you are kind.
If i enlist some pride to change my mind
Just promise that you'll let me leave.

This school of shame that I've matriculated at
Keeps much more than it gives.
and though my eyes swing from blue and to green
Please remember me however you wish.

[now I've got one foot in a stream, as the water rises I start to sing]

Let me go. I'm not yours no more.
No more than you are kind.
If i enlist some pride to change my mind
Just promise that you'll let me leave.
