333

I took the pain out of my pen
I took my self out of my selfish ways
And wrote all and wrote all

I took the heat off of my hen
And took my place upon the roof instead
And crowed and crowed

I've made a satyr from a saint
I've made a nun out of a lesbian
You are the person you've been always
You were just too young to know yourself back then
And if you think that you can change, well
Then i hope you're right
Not even god can change your nature
But you can hold back, right?

I took the greed out of my grin
And sunk my teeth into my work instead
And they followed

I took my seat upon the stand
Gave my account of what happened
And swallowed

I've made a satyr from a saint
I've made a nun out of a lesbian
You are the person you've been always
You were just too young to know yourself back then

And if you think that you can change, well
Then i hope you're right
Not even god can change your nature
But he can hold out alright
