Why I Scream Lyrics

For all my sorrow

For all my pain

For all you people

Driving me insane

That's why I scream

I'm just sittin' here thinking about

Something called the American dream

I'm just sittin' here thinking about

Morality dressed up in a scene

I'm just sitting here thinking about

All the lies you spooned into to me

For the betrayal,

For the obscene,

For all the times you beat the shit right out of me

That's why I scream

I'm just sittin here thinking about

How I make my body a whore

From the time I open until I close

My butt's an open door

I'm just sittin here thinking about

Your twisted empathy,

You kept her inside, even let her abide

Even though she gutted me

That's why I scream

This is how I scream

I'm just sittin here thinking about

How they all just want to blame me

It's a two-way street, match your mouth to your feet, or just shut up

I'm just sittin here thinking about

A life of ministry

Giving everything

Suffering all of the pain

Then the butchers kill all of the dreams

I'm just sittin here thinking about

A love made into misery

I didn't learn then, I don't know now

Pulling me apart at the seams

This is why I scream
