Pardon Me For Living

[Verse 1]
Pardon me for being such a disappointment
Pardon me for making so many mistakes
Pardon me for betraying your gracious employment
Pardon me I guess I just haven't got what it takes

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I don’t know what you want, don't know what you believe
I don't know how to act anymore
Or how long I can keep juggling

[Chorus]
Can I ever possibly hope to pass inspection?
Can’t I just confess and be forgiven?
Guilty of the grievous crime of human imperfection
Pardon me
Pardon me
I'm sorry

[Verse 2]
Now pardon me for saying all things are not equal
Pardon me for claiming something's gotta give
Pardon me but there's no point in wasting time
Trying to round up the dealers
When some people's future's so bleak they need drugs
Just to get up the courage to live

[Pre-Chorus 2]
There in another kingdom life is sacred, love commendable
Here we bow the knee to progress
Where we're all secretly expendable

[Chorus]
Yeah, can I ever possibly hope to pass inspection?
Can't I just confess and be forgiven?
Guilty of the grievous crime of making such suggestions
Pardon me
Pardon me
I’m really sorry

[Bridge]
Yeah I hope my Congressperson can forgive me
I hope I’ve not offended my beloved President
But I wanna know
Where is that nation under God
With liberty and justice and blah blah blah
It was a great idea on paper
But it hasn't actually happened yet

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Now maybe I’m a wild card or maybe I'm a trend
Maybe I'm a two hundred million headed monster
And you will hear from us again

[Chorus]
Oh can I ever possibly hope to pass inspection?
Can't I just confess and be forgiven?
Guilty of the grievous crime of making these suggestions
Pardon me
Pardon me
Oh pardon me
Yeah pardon me
Pardon me for living
