Oh my god
 Please help me, knee deep in the river trying to get clear
 He says wash your hands, get out the stains
 But you best believe, boy, there's [bad word] to pay
 Yeah you best believe, boy, there's [bad word] to pay, sayin' [bad word] on

 Oh my god
 Please help me, waist deep in the river, can you hear my plea?
 He says, son, [bad word] like a beggar in the street
 You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth
 You might make it, boy, but by the skin of your teeth, sayin'

 I rebel with the worst of them 
 Fell in love with the Harlequin
 Saw the darkest parts of men
 And I saw myself starin' back again
 And I saw myself starin' back again

 Oh my god
 Please help me, neck deep in the river screaming for relief
 He says, it's mine to give, but it's yours to choose
 You're gonna sink or swim, you're gonna learn the [bad word]  No matter what you do you're gonna learn the [bad word] sayin'

 Fell from a cliff, never broke a bone
 My daddy get the kings on the throne 
 And I'm all alone and the fire grows
 And I'm all alone and the fire grows
