Bukowski had a bluebird, well inside I have a crow
For all intents and purposes, I think I’ll let him show
I am a sonofabitch, I am a fucking prick
I am selfish, conceited and cold
I am the devil’s kin, I’m bound by serpent’s skin
I am vile, and worthless I’ve been told
But I was a child once, before that bastard’s touch
Before the drugs, and the lies, and deaths in my family
Before divorce, and that fourth of July
Before corners, and boards, and hands on my throat
Before a girl finished off what that bastard started
And instead of goodbye, we both said dearly departed
I was a child once, I could have been…
I could have been someone
