Song-Sacrifice

Baby Baby on my knee
I made this sacrifice for thee
Staying alive through all the hurt
Was not easy and hard work
I crawled to something better
Hoping to make my dreams come alive
Believe me baby someday I will thrive
If I manage to stay alive...
I crawled onto something better
Wrote your Mom a bunch of love letters
I showed her the power of my heart
Kept on believing hoping I was being smart
Sacrifice to find something nice
Sacrifice to better advice
Sacrifice like a crown
Trying not to be shameful or lame in this town
Sacrifice is the name of this game
Sacrifice comes with pain
Sacrifice to a better hope
Giving up on all the smoke
Smoke and mirrors was how California was made
Grant me access to a path better than the edge of this blade?
I got to this town like a wounded soldier
Someones evil left me to bolster
Throw me away and take away the key
That was the first sacrifice of me
They couldn't send me to prison
Because of innocent tender
Sacrifice got caught in that blender
Instead they stole all my possesions
Some I worked for with obsessions
The rest they gave to their new criminality
The people we have to listen to because of their duality
They knew all these rich people and well to do's
I can count on them like a pair of souless shoes
I sacrificed myself to a new faith
One that takes you in no matter what the wraith
Tells it to with a pointed jagged finger
Don't look at them, they are souless swingers
Sacrifice is no fun
Sacrifice but don't buy a gun
Sacrifice to not seek revenge
Sacrifice to find a friend
Baby Baby on my knee
I'd give everything for you to have it better than me
I've amassed a large fortune
Didn't sell my soul to aquire the portion
Just paid the nice people and believed in God
Jesus too, but that still is a little odd
Sacrifice to help myself investigate
Thanks to the spirit wold which I don't negate
Sacrifice is a virtue
Not a sin, but it still can hurt you
Given a chance to win
People berate you when you are down
Herd you away from this evil town?
I don't have the fortune yet
But my appetite to recover is getting wet
Sacrifice I'm not a clown
Just a happy person
Who didn't drown
I'm alive because of good spirits
They talk to me when I'm a little near it
That is sacrifice to a lamb
Chip in so I don't wither away like the sand
Or at least listen to what I have to say
I'd hate for the evil in this play to be held at bay
For another decade
For another hour
The sacrifice I made is part of my power...
