Dear  mother,
 This is just survival.
 Cannot promise your children  everything,
 But you would lie  so they can sleep  tonight.
Defeat  tasted nothing like you said.
 Still 22 days left till  the end of the world.
 My legacy  was making  you a man
 For a justice I could not change.
 This is one voice not to forget;
 "Fight every fight like you can win;
 An iron fisted champion,
 An iron willed  fuck up."
 Can anybody  tell me why God  won't speak to me?
 Why Jesus  never called on me to part  the fucking seas?
 Why death  is easier than living?
 You can be almost anything
 When you're on  your fucking knees.
 Not today,
 Not my son,
 Not my family,
 Not while walking  is still honest,
 And you haven't  given up on me.
Dear  shithead,
 This isn't happening;
 The sky  is really falling,
 The paint's  all made of lead,
There's  asbestos in the walls,
 Hell's come over to rip off the doors
 To the priveleged mansion.
 Do you want to love and feel  it?
 You can look but you can't taste  it.
 You can reach but you'll never have  it.
 We are untouchable;
 Untouchable is something to be.
 Can anybody  tell me why God  won't speak to me?
 Why Jesus  never called on me to part  the fucking seas?
 Why death  is easier than living?
 You can be almost anything
 When you're on  your fucking knees.
 Not today,
 Not my son,
 Not my family,
 Not while walking  is still honest,
 And you haven't  given up on me.
 And you haven't given  up on me,
 And you haven't forgotten me...

[D]Dear mother,

This is just survival.
Cannot promise your [B]children every[A]thing,
But you would [B]lie so they can [A]sleep tonight.
[D]Defeat tasted nothing like you said.
Still 22 days left [B]till the end of the [A]world.
My [B]legacy was [A]making you a [E]man
For a justice I could not [G]change.
This is one voice not to [E]forget;
"Fight every fight like you can [G]win;
An iron fisted cham[E]pion,
An iron [G]willed fuck [D]up."

Can [G]anybody tell me why [D]God won't speak to me?
Why [A]Jesus never called on me to [B]part the fucking [A]seas?
Why [G]death is easier than [D]living?
You can be almost [A]anything
When you're [B]on your fucking [A]knees.
Not [G]today,
Not my [D]son,
Not my [A]family,
Not while [B]walking is still [A]honest,
And you [G]haven't given up on [D]me.

[B]  [A]  [G]    [B]  [A]

[D]Dear shithead,

This isn't happening;
The [B]sky is really [A]falling,
The [B]paint's all made of [A]lead,
[D]There's asbestos in the walls,

Hell's come over to rip off the doors
To the [B]priveleged [A]mansion.    [B]                [A]
Do you want to love and [E]feel it?
You can look but you can't [G]taste it.
You can reach but you'll never [E]have it.
We are un[G]touchable;
Untouchable is something to [D]be.

Can [G]anybody tell me why [D]God won't speak to me?
Why [A]Jesus never called on me to [B]part the fucking [A]seas?
Why [G]death is easier than [D]living?
You can be almost [A]anything
When you're [B]on your fucking [A]knees.
Not [G]today,
Not my [D]son,
Not my [A]family,
Not while [B]walking is still [A]honest,
And you [G]haven't given up on [D]me.
And you [B]haven't [A]given up on [G]me,
And you [B]haven't [A]forgotten [D]me...
