Lyrics:
Verse 1:
Music was evil, and I'm writing this song so I guess that makes me evil.
I bet you'd call my lyrics satanic like you did that of Ozzie and the Beatles.
Now heaven's harder to reach than it is for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle.
I wasn't allowed to do anything if it wasn't yet that glorified steeple.
If you had it your way dad, I'd be as innocent as when I was fetal.
When I finally discovered the real world, it was nearly lethal.
It's not a sheltered paradise out there, there are good and bad people.
I was the odd ball, starting out behind when all my friends were equal.
I had to figure my own shit out so my story would have a sequel.
I'm imperfect with ink-stained skin and have smelly fecal.
Chorus:
I'd have to sneak out with my friends to the round-a-bout cuz that was not allowed.
I crank the music up so loud to drown it out but that was not allowed.
I'm restricted, chained down, and bound; I'm bound to fall into sin without
Having a cell phone, you frowned about, is out of the question, not allowed.
Verse 2:
I can't describe the feeling that overtook me. To do so was never allowed.
That feeling that at that you down when you found the phone that wasn't allowed.
I thought I hid it so well below my pillow, "dad, I know it's not allowed!"
Is what I told him, "I borrowed it from the one homie you do allow.
"And no, that's not a piercing in my ear. It'll close if I take it out."
But don't tell him I pierced it out of spite cuz he said it's not allowed.
Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful I had a place to call my home, and two parents revered.
But if they were the angels they made themselves out to be, I brought those Seraphim to tears.
Maybe you'll be disappointed if you hear this, dad. But honestly, I don't care if you hear.
Cuz I spent countless hours tormented by the echos of your unbearable jeers.
I may've had book-smarts at eighteen, but to my mental health they were terrible years.
When he was too proud to acknowledge my angst, I learned to cherish my peers.
[Chorus]
Bridge:
I'm not ashamed to say I disobeyed too much.
But you were ashamed when you found out who was
My friend. And you blew up the god shit like a bazooka.
She wasn't a Christian so I got chewed out, chewed up,
And spit out. Constantly reminded that I'm a screw up.
But now that I grew up, you suddenly eased your mood up.
Either that or every damn one of my siblings knew just
-what words'd get your rule stuff to ease the fuck, loosen up.
[Chorus] more
