Embarrassed

There was a time I could imagine
All the things I could be
That was many rivers ago
Now all I am is me

And I’m more than a little embarrassed
More than a little embarrassed
More than a little embarrassed
By myself

Someday I’ll buy a push-mower
And remember to close the lights
I most stop eating burgers
And fix up my old bike

And I’m more than a little embarrassed
More than a little embarrassed
More than a little embarrassed
By myself

They say the Lord will clean me
If I step into the light
But the darker more obscene me
Wallows in the night

And I’m more than a little embarrassed
More than a little embarrassed
More than a little embarrassed
By myself

When this life is over, they’ll lay my bones to rest
Say he wasnít such a bad guy, he almost did his best
Oh my

The crew on cable T.V.
Tellin’ me where it’s at
Shapin’ reality
When it’s not really quite like that
We claim to pray for peace, while stokin’ the fires of war
We can’t kick the habit of oil, everything we touch we spoil
We’ve been through this before, no we can’t kick the habit of war
Bloated to the core, a righteous oozing sore, that deadly dinosaur
Who’s been robbing the store ?
We could be a whole lot more than embarrassed
