Let It Be Me 

I was stoned in a factory
Working an industrial slicer
Wondering to myself if life
Could be anything nicer
inching step by step
Toward the great American death
I was dreaming 'bout asbestos as best as I can guess
I was itching to confess at the rural festivus
Father son and Holy Spirit
You’re gonna have to speak up cause I can’t hear it
The tree grew a branch
And the branch grew davidians
Most of them died
In the land of comedians
Turns out
your mother
Was part of the
slytherin faction
It’s alright you didn’t know
she never saw all that much of the action
There is promise in the morning
There is power in the blood
folks drink it for the feeling
I just drink jus because
I do what John Denver tells me
I wanna do right, don’t let anyone fail me
Let it be me
And only me
Let it be me
And only me
Let it be me and only me
Who fails me
I was a tombstone tragedy working out the kinks in Wisconsin
In a monastery asking the saints if they come here often
in a van with all of my friends
where the party that never ends
The liquors always quicker I cheat to feel the drums
Pounding in my head and in my heart and in my thumbs
Father son and holy spirit
Set the bar so low, that I can clear it
the clearer the mirror
The more of the horror
there's gore on the shore
of Sodom and Gomorrah
There's something endearing
About the fear of anything queer here
I've seen alotta folks fold into a mold
Of something that they couldn’t steer clear of
well there's promise in the morning
and power in the blood
folks drink it for the feeling
i jus drink it because
i do what John Denver tells me
I wanna do right in case anyone fails me
let it be me
and only me
let it be me
and only me
let it be me and only me
who fails me
Hey guys wussup I always knew I was gonna seem basic
In the dagobah system asking folks if they've seen my spaceship
All the Buddhists priests and the Taoist monks
Couldn’t have stopped me from being a punk
In a ford explorer with a tape recorder
Beating down your door with an eating disorder
Father Time and Mother Nature
Why am I
Of such small stature
All I ever wanted
Was to die young
But I didn’t have the guts
and songs needed sung
if i could wake up without this feeling
I'd know
i was healing
but every morning when i wake up
i jus know that it ain't enough
well there's promise in the mornin
and power in the blood
folks drink it for the feelin
i jus drink it because
i do what John Denver tells me
I wanna do right in case anyone fails me
let it be me
and only me
let it be me
and only me
let it be me and only me
who fails me
