You don't know 
You don't know how hard it's been 
I've tried to hard to be good but I just can't win 
So I've got no mother now 
No one to slap me on the wrist 
No one to be good for, I just can't resist 

But anyway 
Who's to say what's right and wrong 
I've sinned to the preachers 
Livid to the teacher 
So whose side are you on? 

Please don't pray for me 
You'll waste your breath 
They don't take jerks like me in heaven 

You don't know 
You don't know how far I've gone 
There's been some shit I've done scare most anyone 
Sure I made some enemies 
Some don't even know who they are just yet 
I'm sure on that fateful day they won't forget 

So what's this all about? 
Some half-assed cry for help? 
It's just another ditty 
Oh, what a pity 
The boy can't help himself 

So please don't cry for me 
You'll waste your tears 
You'd think I'd have learned something the past thirty years
