Life Without Me

I fed you
I clothed you
I sent you to school
I provided for nearly all of your needs
Built your highways
Built your ballfields
Built your parks and your pools
Ain’t it time you lived life without me?
Life without me you’re gonna find
Gonna take up every muscle in your mind
Once the future was too far away to see
Now it’s here and it’s clear you’re nowhere near prepared
For life without me
I bent you
I broke you
Took your breath away
Wrapped your dead in my darkness for keeps
Still you sit there
Reminiscing
About the good ‘ol days
Can’t wrap your head around life without me
Careful where you draw your water—I done my business there
Say a pray for your sons and daughters every time they breathe the air
I have friends, you may have heard, don’t you listen to a word they have to say
I’m just a dirty rotten killer on the cleanest of my days ......
Look around you
All the places
Where I carried out my reign
Ah, the kingdom’s crumbling everywhere I see
No promise
No wishful thinking
Gonna bring it back again
Go on—get on to life without me
