I want to live, I don't want to die
I want to see myself realized
Don't want to risk or everything is lost
Never thought to pray or that I'd be this way
Now where's the hope? You see the foe
Don't ask too much of what you don't want to know
You love me, you want me
I can't help you say you're sorry
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
God, you've made a big mistake
My name is Jack and I've got a problem
It's you and your people, it's you and your city
The mindsight is ridiculous, the cowardice incredulous
If God can't find me then how can I find God?
And if God can't find me, no one can, no one can, no one can
I'm not the bad guy
I heard direct voices from above
Ritualize the rights of the old school
Take their lives, take their lives
Place them at my feet, you'll wear the crown
Help me, help me, help me
I want to be free, I want to be free, I want to be free
I'm your new nightmare
I'm your new terror
I'm your new devil
I'm your new neighbor
My victims don't come easily
They're sought and bought repeatedly
So don't be surprised if you wind up a headline
I want to live...
Please help me
Please save me
I want to see myself realized
Don't want to risk or everything is lost
Never thought to pray or that I'd be this way
Now where's the hope? You see the foe
Don't ask too much of what you don't want to know
You love me, you want me
I can't help you say you're sorry
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I should die before I wake
God, you've made a big mistake
My name is Jack and I've got a problem
It's you and your people, it's you and your city
The mindsight is ridiculous, the cowardice incredulous
If God can't find me then how can I find God?
And if God can't find me, no one can, no one can, no one can
I'm not the bad guy
I heard direct voices from above
Ritualize the rights of the old school
Take their lives, take their lives
Place them at my feet, you'll wear the crown
Help me, help me, help me
I want to be free, I want to be free, I want to be free
I'm your new nightmare
I'm your new terror
