Despicable

I drank in my youth and had more than my share

I'd ask for forgiveness but I really don't care

Don't ask you to see me but for what I am

Was a dad for a while now jus t a lonely old man

I've wandered, I've tasted

I've squandered all that should be mine

What bounty I've wasted

I swapped my story for a line

I never let you lie

Except when you called me daddy

And if I seem insincere

Well good then you finally get me

I've wandered, I've tasted

I've squandered all that should be mine

What bounty I've wasted

I swapped my story for a line

It's hard to stay, it's hard to fight

But it was easy to go

And I could care but what the hell

I had my own seeds to sow

And they were young they'll let it go

They'll learn to swallow the pain

I shouldn't have to be involved

I shouldn't have to explain

Well you were wrong, I can't forget

I never could understand

And now with children of my own

It's as clear as my hand

You're a despicable man a despicable man

You've wandered, you've tasted

You've squandered all that should be mine

What bounty you've wasted

you swapped my story for a line

I hope you enjoyed the line
