"Let It Be Me" lyrics
I was stoned in a factory
Working an industrial slicer
Wondering to myself if life could be anything nicer
Inching step by step
Towards the Great American Death
I was dreaming 'bout asbestos as best as I can guess
I was itching to confess at the rural Festivus
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
You're gonna have to speak up 'cause I can't hear it
Well, the tree grew a branch
The branch grew Dravidians
Most of them died
In the land of comedians
Turns out your mother
Was part of the Slytherin faction
It's alright that you didn't know
She never saw that much of the action
Well, there's promise in the morning
And power in the blood
Folks drink it for the feeling
I just drink it because
I do what John Denver tells me
I wanna do right, in case anyone fail me
Let it be me and only me
Let it be me and only me
Let it be me and only me
Who fails me
Who fails me
I was a tombstone tragedy working out the kinks in Wisconsin
In a monastery asking the saints if they come here often
In a van with all of my friends
Where the party never ends
The liquors always quicker
I cheat to feel the drums
Pounding in my head and in my heart and in my thumbs
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
Set the bar so low
That I can clear it
Well, the clearer the mirror
The more of the horror
There's gore on the shore
Of Sodom and Gomorrah
There's something endearing
About the fear of anything queer here
I've seen a lotta folks fold into a mold
Of something that they couldn't steer clear of
Well, there's promise in the morning
And power in the blood
Folks drink it for the feeling
I just drink it because
I do what John Denver tells me
I wanna do right in case anyone fails me
Let it be me and only me
Let it be me and only me
Let it be me and only me
Who fails me
Who fails me
Hey guys, wussup?
I always knew I was gonna seem basic
In the Dagobah system asking folks if they've seen my spaceship
All the Buddhists priests and the Taoist monks
Couldn't have stopped me from being a punk
In a Ford Explorer with a tape recorder
Beating down your door with an eating disorder
Father Time and Mother Nature
Why am I of such small stature?
All I ever wanted was to die young
But I didn't have the guts
And songs needed sung
If I could wake up without this feeling
I'd know I was healing
But every morning when I wake up
I just know that it ain't enough
Well there's promise in the mornin'
And power in the blood
Folks drink it for the feelin'
I just drink it because
I do what John Denver tells me
I wanna do right in case anyone fails me
Let it be me and only me
Let it be me and only me
Let it be me and only me
Who fails me
Who fails me
Working an industrial slicer
Wondering to myself if life could be anything nicer
Inching step by step
Towards the Great American Death
I was dreaming 'bout asbestos as best as I can guess
I was itching to confess at the rural Festivus
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit
You're gonna have to speak up 'cause I can't hear it
Well, the tree grew a branch
The branch grew Dravidians
Most of them died

Turns out your mother

Well, there's promise in the morning
And power in the blood
Folks drink it for the feeling
I just drink it because
I do what John Denver tells me
I wanna do right, in case anyone fail me
Let it be me and only me
Let it be me and only me
Let it be me and only me
Who fails me
Who fails me
