CHILD OF THE FUTURE

This is my letter from the gulag

Might have thought the wrong thoughts

But I bled as red as you did

Child of the future

I hope you're still human

But that's just the ignorance in me

I was a product of my time

That's why I do my time

Guilty of been right

Guilty of been what?

We're all guilty of some shit

That we're glad is out of sight

I never claimed to be perfect

Or polite

Or clean

But I was right

I never claimed to be holy

Or pure

I wasn't spotless

But I was right

I never claimed to be perfect

Or polite

Or clean

But I was right

I never claimed to be holy

Or pure

I wasn't spotless

But I was right

We lived no better than the cro-mag

Allegiance to a false flag

A ball gag or a body bag

Like crabs we all just crawled back

For saints we had celebrities

Took pills to cure the enmity

And swallowed them

And maybe we'll be free

I was born out of time

And I stepped out of line

Hid the secrets from my self

But they found them in my mind

Couldn't hide it

I was blinded

And now I'm crying in this cell where I will die

My child

I never claimed to be perfect

Or polite

Or clean

But I was right

I never claimed to be holy

Or pure

I wasn't spotless

But I was right

I never claimed to be perfect

I never claimed to be perfect

I never claimed to be perfect

But I was right

I never claimed to be holy

Or pure

I wasn't spotless

But I was right

I was right
