Black leather up on the stage
Rockin' out like were in a rage
I ain't here for no mess around
There ain't no grave gonna hold this corpse down

I've heard the rumors I've heard the lies
Lame excuses and alibis
You can laugh you can put me down
But the fact is I've been around

Don't you try and judge me
By what you've seen on tv
Every day I meet death and it kicks me when I'm down
Dead man walking around

Laugh it up behind my back
The clothes I wear and my faith don't match
I ain't no good so you've heard tell
But Jesus Christ done saved my soul from hell
