Promise you won’t feel a thing

I’ve been kicked right down, I’ve been spat in the face
I’ve been pulled way down o the lowest place
I’ve been lied to, shamed, I have been disgraced
Been ex-communicated from every holy place
I’ve been beat up and robbed, I’ve been left for dead
For the way I look, for the things I said

I’ve been put on the street, I’ve been left in the cold
Had my dreams held up, had them shot for holes
I’ve been laughed at, burnt, been the butt of the joke
I’ve been lit up in flames, I have gone down in smoke
I’ve been stabbed in the back while they promised the earth
Tried to keep my head high for all I am worth
