How I Come Up (Airbrush & Ecstasy)

from Citizen Clay by Clay Otis & The Dream Sheiks

/

lyrics

Daddy was a banker who stacked a lotta' funds,
the government came and took em' he stacked a lotta' guns
Woh oh woh that's how I come up
Daddy left my Mama to find a younger one
She never loved him she only loved his Mom
Now I notice me and girls don't get along
I'm a child birthed of hatred me and love go wrong

Woh oh woh that's how i come up

I'm the darkest sheep with the purest fleece,
The darkest sheep with the brightest lease on life
I've had a bright lease all my life

Huffin' nitrous oxide in a trailer park
coming of age, shit felt oh so dark
Who oh who that's how I come up

Next thing I know they had me on a plane
Ship me off some place to try to rearrange my brain
all they ever said, "that boy is bad, bad, bad"
ship him off to some Jesus freak rehab

Woh oh Woh oh, that's how I come up
That's how they did me, that's how they did me

Methodist Divorce
Airbrush, Ecstasy
Hatred, Arguin'
Questioning my intelligence
Questioning my enthusiasm
Wearin' on me
They put me down
Let me go, they let me go
and i'm far gone now
