  • Well, I tripped, I fell down naked
    Well, I scratched my knees, they bled
    Sew up my eyes, need no more
    In our game, there is no score

    Forgive me father, why should ya bother?
    Try honesty, try honesty
    Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
    Ride over me, ride over me
    Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
    Die tragedy, die tragedy
    Call me a cheapskate, come on, for Pete's sake
    Cry agony, cry agony

    I'm insane it's your fault, so sly
    Your well of lies ran dry
    And I cut the cord, free fall
    From so high, we seem so small

    Forgive me father, why should ya bother?
    Try honesty, try honesty
    Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
    Ride over me, ride over me
    Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
    Die tragedy, die tragedy
    Call me a cheap skate, come on for Pete's sake
    Cry agony, cry agony

    Ooh, I talk to you
    I'm insane, it's your fault, cry
    I'm insane, it's your fault, cry
    I'm insane, it's your fault, cry

    Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?
    Forgive me father, why should ya bother now?

    Forgive me father, why should ya bother
    Try honesty, try honesty
    Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
    Ride over me, ride over me
    Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
    Die tragedy, die tragedy
    Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
    Cry agony, cry agony

    Cry agony, cry agony
    Try honesty, try honesty
    Cry agony, cry agony Writer/s: Aaron Solowoniuk, Ben Kowalewicz, Ian D'sa, Jon Gallant

  • Matthew John Lapointe from CanadaPossibly the red flag could be our blood supply.
    Blood banks were created in early 1900,s. Dr Charles R Drew in Washington DC separated blood types just before the federal reserve was established. WW1 started shortly after. Breading of the human populous has brought us from 2billion people to a current 8.1 billion in a century of warfare. A bloody mess if you ask me. Lol This is whyI started my personal boy-cot of my blood type. Even printed a hoody
    Global O- blood Strike.
