Tekst piosenki
[Verse 1]
We’re taught unconditional love
That blood is thicker than water
That a parent’s world would revolve
Always around their son or their daughter
You pretended I was your own
And even believed that you loved me
But were always threatened by some
Invisible blood line that only you could see
[Instrumental Break]
You took advantage of an outreached hand
And twisted it to meet your every need
”Gimme time to re-charge my batteries
I’ll see her when she’s older and I’ll bounce her on my knee”
Well listen to me you ungrateful fool
Here comes a dose of reality
You’ll go to your grave a sad and lonely man
The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan
[Pre-Chorus 1]
On and on and on and on it goes
It’s so easy to run away with nothing in tow
[Chorus 1]
How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the nerve to blame this mess on me?
Never in my life have I seen someone
So ignorant to the damage he has done
You’re the rotted root in the family tree
Yeah
[Verse 2]
I tried your 4 bill therapy
I tried to make amends
But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again
[Instrumental Break]
Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet
Don’t you see respect is not a one way street?
Blaming everyone for all that you’ve done wrong
I’ll get my peace of mind when you hear this song
[Pre-Chorus 2]
On and on and on and on it goes
And with every passing day true colors show
[Chorus 2]
How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the balls to blame this mess on me?
Never in my life have I seen someone
Oblivious to the damage he has done
You’re the rotted root in the family tree
Yeah
[Bridge]
Watch where you walk
Don’t you dare cross the crooked step
Watch the way you talk
Don’t cross the crooked step
[Instrumental Breakdown, featuring samples from various films, most notably „Magnolia” and „The Royal Tenenbaums”]
[„This is a regret that you make”]
[„We’re still connected”]
[„This is a regret that you make-„]
[„I want my family back”]
[„-and there’s something you take”]
[„You can’t have it. I’m sorry for you, but it’s too late…”]
[„Mistakes like this… You don’t make”]
[„Can’t you see anything except in terms of how it affects you?”]
[„You make some… And they’ll get to you”]
[„You don’t love anybody”]
[„I gave you money, I gave you a car, I took you in-„]
[„It’s not OK, son”]
[„-but don’t that mean something?”]
[„A little…”]
[„Do I admire people too much?”]
[„No… You should do better”]
[„That disappoints you…”]
[„God damn regrets!”]
[„You deserve to die alone for what you’ve done!!”]
[„GOD DAMN REGRETS!”]
[„Don’t deny it”]
[„You cocksucker, I know you’re here.”]
[„Don’t deny it”]
[„I want you to know I hate your fucking guts.”]
[„The biggest regret in my life”]
[„I wish you’d fucking die.”]
[„I’ve let my love go”]
[„I’m your blood… I’m your family”]
[„Is that you?”]
[„You’re not my family, not anymore”]
[„The fucking regrets!”]
[„When your own flesh and blood renounces you…”]
[„What did I do?”]
[„…you have no choice but to renounce them.”]
[„WHAT DID I DO?!”]
[Keyboard Solo]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
On and on and on and on it goes
Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold
[Chorus 3]
How can you ever sleep a wink at night
Pretending that everything is alright
And have the balls to blame this shit on me?
Never in my life have I seen someone
So fucking blind to the damage he has done
You’re the rotted root in the family tree
Yeah
