lyrics

recorded on macbook in late 2013.
I tried to write a song about how great my mom and dad are. they are really great. but it ended up being more about how I feel guilty about my privilege, and maybe a reflection on the worst parts of me that judge others.

Things to know: christ driving the moneychangers from the temple and the red right hand of god.

----------------------------

some folks need drugs and liquor to get by
others want nothing more than to up and die.
i got no way to comfort, i offer piece of mind
i can't relate because all i want is mine.

cause im a fortunate son
there aint no thing in this world i done
to deserve my momma, or my dad
i just got it good and you got it bad
oh i was born with elbow room
i been well fed from a golden platter with a silver spoon.

it weren't for any you that i was born
i take what i can get, oh and i take more
I got luck enough for ten men but i am smug enough for twenty-four
I am righteous and I am selfless, and I'm so much more.

chorus

cause I done checked my privilege and I deserve every bit,
and I'ma toot my own horn and tell the world about it
and I feel no remorse for all the stuff that Ive said.

And like peter at the gates I'll judge you harshly
and like jesus in the temple i wont hold back.
i'll grip my cat o' nine tails with this gilded red right hand,
and ill turn you away and ill beat you and i'll be glad.

chorus

I don't deserve what I got but I'm glad to have it.
I love my momma and daddy like a bad habit
oh I count on flying pigs every time that they've let me down
and I'm scared to death of the day they ain't around.

chorus
