Testo: Pete Bernhard. Straight Line. Orphan.
called a friend the other day
to see what kind of words hed say
he said, "I just met a man down here and his girlfriend dont like you"
So give me a number, her address
and Ill see if I can do my best
to avoid her the next time Im passing through
Never been much for following rules
always go out and act the fool
and something bad would happen by and by
I cant say Im always proud of myself
But I dont wish I was somebody else
Infact Id rather be me then you
But a lot of people dont like me
not my music I hear; personally
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
I guess Id rahter be an orphan then a slave
Well I went to a party in the middle of the night
crawling up the stairs and thats alright
I pictured the who place in flames and it made me smile
I wonder why I thought such terrible things
a voice in my head heard the telephone ring
picked up and said, "weve been wondering for a while"
Walked in a wall, spelt in the dirt
got punched in the face I admit that it hurt
and I had enemies that I call my friends
But it dosnt matter if I get low down
because Im the one riding on the hear right now
and all I gotta do is use my imagination
But a lot of people dont like me
not my music I hear; personally
gonna tell you how to act and what to say
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
I guess Id rahter be an orphan then a slave
Well theres been sometimes I was under the gun
and when I was I intended to run
it was important but it wasnt worth dying for
someone said he who fights and runs away
can avoid getting killed another day
so I made a point of every window and every door
but all these people they gather round
my heart goes backwards my head drops down
I hear my voice say things I told it not to
Couldnt say who it was directed at
and why I chose to say something like that
and now what I truly plan to do
But a lot of people dont like me
thats what I hear now out on the street
wanna tell you how to act and what to say
I guess Id rather be an orphan then a slave
I guess Id rahter be an orphan then a slave
I guess Id rahter be an orphan then a slave
to see what kind of words hed say
