[Verse 1]
Well, I tripped, fell down, naked
I scratched my knees, they bled
Sew up my eyes, need no more
In our game there is no score

[Chorus]
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
Cry agony! Cry agony!

[Verse 2]
Insane, it's your fault, so sly
Your well of lies ran dry
I cut the cord, free fall
From so high I seem so small

[Chorus]
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
Cry agony! Cry agony!
[Bridge]
I talk to you!
I'm insane, it's your fault! (Cry)
I'm insane, it's your fault! (Cry)
I'm insane, it's your fault! (Cry)

[Interlude]
Forgive me father
Why should you bother, now?
Forgive me father
Why should you bother, now?

[Chorus]
Forgive me father, why should you bother?
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Hop in your dump truck, reverse for good luck
Ride over me! Ride over me!
Take on the whole world, fight with the young girls
Die tragedy! Die tragedy!
Call me a cheapskate, come on for Pete's sake
Cry agony! Cry agony!

[Outro]
Cry agony! Cry agony!
Try honesty! Try honesty!
Cry agony! Cry agony!
