(Say it ain't so) They say my old man is a killer, babe
(Say it ain't so) I'd been hypnotized by the thrill of it all
(Say it ain't so) I felt that big emptiness filling me up
My cup runneth over of shit-eating luck
My wild emotions are running amok
(Say it ain't so) Saw pain in the eyes of a stranger, babe
(Say it ain't so) The news that she fed me has changed the game
(Say it ain't so) My only way out's to estrange myself
I know quite well what you're capable of
Fuck your existence, and fuck our true love
(Say it ain't so) One more time just for good measure
(Say it ain't so) After it's over, I'm cutting ties
(Say it ain't so) Wish you the worst in your endeavors
(Say it ain't so) I'm putting together my goodbyes
(Say it ain't so) The prisoner's life is too good for your likes
(Say it ain't so) And lethal injection would just be too quick
(Say it ain't so) I guess I could watch you just shrivel and fade
It's time to put you our of your misery
But from that catharsis, it would set you free
(Say it ain't so) How close was I to your next victim
(Say it ain't so) I fought a war already lost
(Say it ain't so) My head was sore from overthinking
How odd was the end result?
At least I know that it wasn't my fault
