I was stoned in a factory, workin' an industrial slicer
Wonderin' to myself if life could be anything nicer
Inchin' step by step towards the great American death
I was dreamin' 'bout asbestos, as best as I can guess
I was itchin' to confess at the rural festivus
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
You're gonna have to speak up 'cause I can't hear it
Well, the tree grew a branch, the branch grew Davidians
Most of 'em died in the land of comedians
Turns out your mother was part of the Slytherin faction
It's alright that you didn't know
She never saw that much of the action
Well, there's promise in the mornin' and power in the blood
Folks drink it for the feelin', I just 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
Who fails me

I was a tombstone tragedy workin' at the Kingston, Wisconsin
In a monastery askin' the saints if they come here often
In a van with all of my friends where the party never ends
The liquor's always quicker, I cheat to feel the drums
Poundin' in my head and in my heart and in my thumbs
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Set the bar so low that I can't clear it
Well, the clearer the mirror, the more the horror
There's gore on the shore of Sodom and Gomorrah
There's somethin' endearin' about the fear of anything queer here
I've seen a lot of folks fold into a mold
Of somethin' that they couldn't steer clear of
Well, there's promise in the mornin' and power in the blood
Folks drink it for the feelin', I just 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
Who fails me

Hey guys, what's up? I always knew I was gonna seem basic
In the Dagobah system askin' folks if they've seen my spaceship
All the Buddhist priests and the Taoist monks
Couldn't have stopped me from bein' a punk
In a Ford Explorer with a tape recorder
Beatin' 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 feelin'
I'd know I was healin'
But every mornin' when I wake up
I just 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 just 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
Who fails me
