This song is very reminescent from the short story “A Good Man Is Hard to Find,” by Flannery O’Connor. Where the singer is the Misfit, and the person he is addressing is the Grandmother.
[Verse 1]
Do you remember me?
I killed your family
And now I am going to kill you too
I made your brother bleed
I made your father scream
And I made your mother say those things that she said to me
[Chorus 1]
She said, "Do with me what you want, but please don't hurt my family, don't hurt my family
Take my pride, take my life, take my body but don't take the ones that are close to me
Oh, do with me what you want, but please don't hurt my family, don't hurt my family
Take my pride, take my life, take my body but don't take the ones that I love."
And I continued without mercy
[Verse 2]
So I looked into your eyes
And I saw the reflection
Of a coward that you and I both hate very much
And then I grabbed a knife
And I let the blood out of your throat
And I smashed those tiny mirrors inside of your skull
And I got to thinking
[Chorus 2]
If I don't go to Hell when I die I might go to Heaven
If I don't go to Hell when I die I might go to Heaven
If I don't go to Hell when I die I might go to Heaven
If I don't go to Hell when I die I might go to Heaven
Might go to Heaven, but probably not
