Oh Father
I couldn't think of a positive thing to say
My friends all hate me now
I was selfish and realize now
I gave it a little time
I thought about it awhile
ask to forgive and forget
Crack a joke and a smile
It's hard to say you're sorry
when you know that you were wrong
The weight of hurting words
We often carry on
The annoying things I don't mind so much anymore
I've learned to tolerate the annoying four
I won't let the sun go down
when I've made a mistake
I'd make right what I've wronged
and give more than I take
Heaven Hell
I don’t know what’s going on
Everything just keeps going wrong
Lack of self dependence
The suffering goes on
I’m not the only victim
I see it every place
But I will keep on striving
To argue my own case
I’m not well equipped
To live in a world like this
I don’t have the tools I need
To make me a success
And I’ll just keep on bleeding
Until the powers listen in
But I think I’m on my way out
Notify my next of kin.
All you need to get by in this world
Is greed and a pocket of charm
Pretend to care for everybody
And then you will come to no harm
I wish that the world could be different
Then my weakness could be my strength
A piece of gold is not judged by feelings
A piece of gold is judged by it’s length
CHORUS
I wish that the tide would come in
To wash away this field of sin
This heaven that has turned to Hell
Be taken from the Devil’s spell.
All you need to get by in this world
Is a life of hatred and lies
Sounds of screaming tearing at your ears
Sights of evil killing your eyes
I wish that the world could be different
TV showing the end of the war
Ask the Veterans why all their friends died
And they wont remember what for
I wish that the tide would come in
To wash away this field of sin
This heaven that has turned to Hell
Be taken from the Devil’s spell.
I wish that the tide would come in
To wash away this field of sin
This heaven that has turned to Hell
Be taken from the Devil’s spell.
