I grew up in small town, out in the country I never had much and I was often hungry May dad he died young and I had to be strong But I was a child that didn't get along I tried to get up but I always felt down This twisted society had dragged me around You made me the that I am today But I never wanted to live my life this way I had bad reputation that never burned out And the teachers in school they had no doubt As they said I'm a losser and I won't get that far And so I dropped out of school just to played my guitar I tried to get up but I always fell down This twisted society has dragged me around You made me the man that I am today But I never wanted to live my life this way I tried to get up but I always fell down This twisted society is dragged me Around you made me the man that I am today But I never wanted to live my life this way
