Prodigal Son

歌詞

Did you think that you were better, somehow better than me? You come here with your arms thrown wide like that means anything to me You think 'cause you're a big man now you can take what isn't yours You come here in your righteousness and you think that opens doors Did you miss the one that pushed you out, that womb that gave your life? Did you come to see my father's grave or the man who took his wife? You don't know what I could have been but for an accident of birth But I got only what I could take and you were given God's own earth And you come running back like a prodigal son You think you can finish what we have begun The cradle will rock and the cradle with fall And I gave you nothing, but you gave it all Did you somehow feel neglected? Did it leave you wanting more? God, they raised you up like Jesus Christ and then they branded me the whore They say when you get desperate, well, you'd do anything for pride And I've got your little secret, dear--I've carried it inside Did you think that you were better, somehow better than me? You come here with your arms thrown wide, like that means anything to me You think 'cause you're a big man now you can take what isn't yours You come here in your righteousness and you think that opens doors Oh, yeah, you think that opens doors.
