Petroleum Lyrics

I?e been put down and been the target of scorn.
So many times I?e cursed the day I was born.
Tasted every taste and done all to the max.
I?e survived this long thanks to pills and twelvepacks.
It? all been hazy but one thing I know.
No use to fight it when you?e sunk so low.
Can? take the pressure so I bring out the torch.
Found my dead girlfriend on the front porch.
THAT? WHAT DID IT FOR ME, THAT? WHEN I LIT THE FLAME.
THAT? WHEN PETROLEUM HELPED ME TO GET AFTERLIFE FAME.
I GOT BACK TO ONE, GOT RID OF ALL THAT? BEEN WITH A MATCH AND GASOLINE..
Yeah I was put down and the target of scorn.
Sure I? a coward but I don? think you?l mourn.
The tastes I tasted was just to get away.
To escape the pain and block out the things you? say.
I stand here ready with a can of sauce.
Self-inflicted combustion and you?e the cause.
A gruesome sight but I won? feel the flames.
The fire is the only thing that cleans the stains.

THAT? WHAT DID IT FOR ME, THAT? WHEN I LIT THE FLAME.
THAT? WHEN PETROLEUM HELPED ME TO GET AFTERLIFE FAME.
I GOT BACK TO ONE, GOT RID OF ALL THAT? BEEN WITH A MATCH AND GASOLINE..
