Somewhere along the way, my hopefulness turned to sadness
Somewhere along the way, my sadness turned to bitterness
Somewhere along the way, my bitterness turned to anger
Somewhere along the way, my anger turned to vengeance

And the ones that I made pay were never the ones who deserved it
And the ones who deserved it, they'll never understand it
Yes, I know I'm goin' to hell in a purple basket
At least I'll be in another world while you're pissin' on my casket

How could you be so perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore the things I did before?

Somewhere along thce way, exacting vengeance gave excitement
Somewhere along the way, that excitement turned to pleasure
Somewhere along the way, that pleasure turned to madness
Sooner or later that kind of madness turns into pain

And the ones that I made pay
Were never the ones who deserved it
Those who helped me along the way
I smacked them as I thanked them
Yes, I know I'm goin' to hell in a leather jacket
At least I'll be in another world while you're pissin' on my casket

All that I can do is sing a song of faded glory
All you got to do is sit there, look great, and make them horny
Together we'll sing songs and tell exaggerated stories
About the way we feel today in the night and in the morning

How could you be so perfect for me?
Why can't you ignore the things I did before?

Take all your fears, pretend they're all true
Take all your plans, pretend they fell through
But that's what it's like
That's what it's like for most people in this world

Rich or the poor, Muslims or Jews
When roles are reversed, opinions are, too
That's all I'm gonna say now
Before you come knocking on my door now
