I'd tear the badge off, I'd scratch off my name But to my hubris I am merely enslaved And I know your words will haunt me to my grave "Please officer, I am not who you say!" You have no rights save for what I decide Then he took a nervous step back So I took him down Just in time, I was gettin' bored And he's tellin' me, tellin' me, tellin' me, tellin' me Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it But I never do Please forgive me My whole life I'd forsake I drown every meal in a whiskey neat It's my only hope to hide my deceit And my whole family thinks I'm incomplete But I keep some secrets that must die with me His voice Ringing Through my Head And I'm tellin' him, tellin' him, tellin' him, tellin' him Stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it, stop it But he never does Please forgive me My whole life I'd forsake My whole life I'd forsake
