Dear Cowboy
No matter what I do,
It’s never good enough for you,
No matter what I say,
I’m always in the way.
I just wanna do right,
But my life is nothing but a fight.
I just wanna make you proud,
But all I ever hear is “wow,
What a mistake”
I’m done putting up with you,
So
Say what you want,
Do what you will,
I won’t give up,
That’s not how I’m built.
I wasn’t made to bow down to men,
And I won’t ever kneel to you again!
Well if- speaking my mind is a sin,
Then I’ve lost to Lucifer again.
I know I can hold a grudge,
But you’re the one holding the ---
You’re the reason that I’m done,
With the world,
With the lies,
With societal roles in our lives.
I’m done bein confined to my mind,
I’m tired of you always thinkin you’re right,
That’s a mighty fine horse you got there,
Did ya need a ladder to get up there?
Cuz I haven’t seen you come down.
Startin to think maybe your feet don’t touch the ground.
Get a load of this cowboy,
Get a load of this ranger,
Up on his high horse,
Don’t know he’s a monster
I said,
Get a load of this cowboy,
Get a load of this ranger,
Seated on his high horse,
He don’t know he’s a monster!
I’m done putting up with you,
So
Say what you want,
Do what you will,
I won’t give up,
That’s not how I’m built.
I wasn’t made to bow down to men,
And I won’t ever kneel to you again!
I’ll start with the truth,
Some days I don’t know you.
You like to blame the serpent,
But at Hogwarts, you’re house Slytherin.
For someone who lives by God,
You’re quite the outlaw.
Isn’t adultery a sin?
And hatred is punishable by death.
Hey there cowboy,
Did ya know you’re not perfect?
Hey there ranger,
Did ya know you’re an outlaw?
Hey there father,
Did ya know I’m an outcast?
Hey there mister,
Did ya know- I don’t seek your approval?
