Let me tell you a story about a man where I grew up 
long time ago
They were a dozen brothers and sisters and worked with 
bloody sweato
Six of them were very bright, they would make it 
through the day
The other half were pitiful had to find another way
The other half were fools had to work hard with their 
hands
And make their living in the woods, working' hard for 
their bread 

Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I knew turned 
out to be
But I'm fine and I'm well and I have a good life
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I know turned 
out to be
A man with distorted mission from God

I was only fifteen when I worked with him with axe and 
saw
We had a big load of timber to carry home through the 
snow
But the snow was to much and the horse got stuck it was 
30 degrees below
Our man was one of the stronger sort so he managed to 
save both horse and load
When we all were safe and sound, he stared and this is 
what he told
"If the horse had died out there I'd have killed you 
with my hands"

Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I knew turned 
out to be
But I'm fine and I'm well and I have a good life
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I know turned 
out to be
A man with distorted mission from God

The mailman in our town was a self-centred bastard
He was abusive to the women and he made fools of the 
men
Complains were heard from door to door but nothing was 
ever done
A revelation came to our man while doing his evening 
prayer
To clear this world from evil and make the world less 
grey
So he went to the mailman and cut his throat and wiped 
the blood on his coat

Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I knew turned 
out to be
But I'm fine and I'm well and I have a good life
Now it seems so unreal to me how someone I know turned 
out to be
A man with distorted mission from God

Twas'nt long 'til men in white coats came and took the 
man away from home
To a place full of loonies. Where he wouldn't feel 
alone
He was locked up like an animal and that's where he 
spent his life
