Friends wanna kill me
But I give them all my loving anyway
If God won't forgive me

But I don't wanna be their son

But I can see the sins that stain your smile
Friends say I gotta see reason
But I'm crawling out of the city
I'm tired of bowing to preachers all the time
Mother, it's not in my hands
Try to understand it's only 'cause I can
Fools believe they can erase
All that they've done wrong
But I don't wanna be their son
Mother
Mother
Friends say I gotta see reason
