[bad word]  lately I've been living
way too [bad word] fast.
This successful life I'm leading
is bound to kick my [bad word] 
My gold and platinum records
just pay my gold card bills.
My whiskey drinking Cadillac
two story house on the hill

For it's [bad word] it's [bad word] and it's twisted
it's twisted

Oh, nobody have mercy on me
mercy on my soul.
I lived the life of a million men
but, I ain't even thirty years old, no.

Gotta keep on, keep it on, keep
it's time I go.
 [bad word]  I've been talking to myself
about living this smoke screen haze.
Well, Mr. [bad word] let me tell you son
that is the price
you've got to pay.

But it's [bad word] it's [bad word] and it's twisted
it's twisted

Lord, have mercy, have mercy on me
mercy on my soul.
I lived the lives of a million men
yet, I ain't even thirty years old, no.

Gotta keep on, keep it on, keep
it's time I go.

(Solo)

I do it to myself
every day
every night. [bad word] more [bad word] it gets twisted
ooh,
twisted

Lord, have mercy, have mercy on me
mercy on my soul
I lived the lives of a million men
yet, I ain't even thirty years old, no.

So, maybe, baby
have mercy on me.
Can you feel me in your soul?
I've been by your side, fourteen long years
and I ain't even thirty years old, no.

Gotta keep on, keep it on, keep
it's time I go. [bad word]
