Get dirty, get clean
Get some new scene to wipe the dirt from everything
That touches you and takes you far from faith
In body, in deep I saw you creeping
Little footsteps through my sleep and
Color me with images of faith
And you can be anyone or just some mother's wasted son
Oh, you can be your own god if you want to
Come over, come quick, come laugh, get sick
Come battle two swords with a stick
And when you've gone I'll put it through my chest
Because listen kid everybody knows you can fit good company up your nose
And we've all heard it's better worst than best
[Chorus]
And you can love anyone
You will believe me when I'm gone
Oh, you can be your own god if you want to
Come on to my side, you will define me with a knife
Spare me all the misery as I tear apart your life
Oh you can lose yourself in art
Or you can break somebody's heart in two
Jump on in, the water's fine for swimming
Look over, look fast, again look past
The motley kids and ugly cast
That smother you, all radiant with joy
'Cause somebody once said when I was young
That playing dead was just no fun
But these days I am a man, I'm not a boy
[Chorus]
And you can be anyone
Or just some mother's wasted son
Oh, you can be your own god if you want to
Come on to my side, you will define me with a knife
Spare me all the misery as I tear apart your life
Oh you can lose yourself in art
Or you can break somebody's heart in two
Jump on in, the water's fine for swimming
Go on split your scene and let the dirty half come clean
You are the wrecking force, you are the wrecking force in me
Cause I'm the self machine I was hot when I was sixteen
You are the wrecking force, you are the wrecking force in me
