Somewhere along the way

My hopefulness turned to sadness

Somewhere along the way

My sadness turned to bitterness

Somewhere along the way

My bitterness turned to anger

Somewhere along the way

My anger turned to vengeance

And the ones that I make pay were never the ones who deserve it

And the ones who deserve it, they'll never understand it.

Yes, I know I'm going to hell in a purple basket

'least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket....



How could you be

(oh-oh-ohh)

so perfect for me

(oh-oh-ohh)

Why can't you ignore

(oh-oh-ohh)

The things I did before

(oh-oh-ohh)



Somewhere along the way

exacting vengence gave excitement

Somewhere along the way

that excitement turned to pleasure

Somewhere along the way

that pleasure turned to madness

But sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain



And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it

Those who helped me along the way, I smacked 'em as I thanked 'em

Yes, I know I'm going to hell in a leather jacket

'least I'll be in another world while you're pissing on my casket



All that I can do is sing a song of faded glory

And all you got to is sit there, look great, and make 'em horny

Together we'll sing songs and tell exaggerated stories

About the way we feel today and tonight and in the morning...



How could you be

(oh-oh-ohh)

So perfect for me

(oh-oh-ohh)

Why can't you ignore

(oh-oh-ohh)

The things I did before

(oh-oh-ohh)



Take all your fears

pretend they're all true

Take all your plans

Pretend they fell through

That's what it's like...

(oh-oh-ohh)

That's what it's like for most people in this world

the rich or the poor

(oh-oh-ohh)

Muslims or Jews

(oh-oh-ohh)

when roles are reversed

(oh-oh-ohh)

opinions are too...

(oh-oh-oh)

That's all I'm gonna say now

Before they come knocking on my door

(oh oh ohh)
