Lyrics
Sometimes a bird flies straight into a window, breaking its neck—but nobody says that the poor thing had it coming. They always tell me that I don’t know my ass from my elbow. They put the blame on my family name, call me scum, say I’m dumb. Well shit, god damn! I’ll show you how dumb I am. Wait for the day you stand in my shoes.
I went to school, didn’t much get instruction. Sundays at church felt like some kind of search and rescue function. Don’t run my plates! I’m leaving the state, I can’t make it home. I got too many, so I ain’t got any. You may know how that goes. Well shit, god damn! I’ll show you how dumb I am. Wait for the day you stand in my shoes.
They’d turn the hoses on Jesus and Moses. “You made your bed,” they’d say, like I have some kind of wings I can spread to take to the skies and fly away.
Sometimes the plane flies straight into the mountain. Trouble’s just out of sight waiting to strike. I can feel it. I wrote a letter to my mother asking for $400. Her husband Kenneth sent me a text: a picture of a Desert Eagle! Well shit Kenneth, god damn! I’ll show you how dumb I am. Wait for the day you’re standing in the shit. God damn! I’ll show you how dumb I am. And while you wait for the day I’ll be fading away. Pray that you don’t end up standing in my shoes.
