The way I figure it, mom wasn't worth a shit. I'd cry when she hit me but she'd just keep pounding. When I was seven, she burned a hole in my back. It happened one day at the fair. We were walking around. She didn't have any money so all we could do was walk. I had…

You better read the papers
If you don’t understand
Cause as of last night
I’m a one-man band
You’d better walk through water
