"Second Class Citizen" - AS SEEN IN THE AUGUST 16, 2005 ISSUE OF THE ADVOCATE:

"SECOND CLASS CITIZEN" -
Copyright 2004-DeChant

I woke up with a tear on my pillow

I woke up with my eyes swollen dry

I walked out to the colors of Novembe

They looked brown and void of life

Without knowing I'd been living in a bubble

Full of love and admission of my life

I sat watching as the carvers took their knives out

And changed the shape of life

*CHORUS: You can have my blood and you can have my money

You can all agree to believe I'll take your life

Now you have your second class citizen

And you can have my filthy life

I seldom feel despair I can count it on my fingers

When the path don't lead me to the light

Was in the birth of spring when I lost her to cancer

But loss is loss in love

I had hope when I threw the ashes

I believed that God had made a plan

I was thankful for the struggle and the laughter

I picked up my head ( TO CHORUS)*

When next you see me my feet will be above the floor

Rope around my neck and this letter on the bed

Do you know how you killed the Mockingbird

As it hangs its weary head

I had hope when I was much younger

I believed that God would make it right

Now I'm thankful for nothing more to suffer

As I'm marching toward the light

You can have my blood and you can have my money

You can all agree to believe I'll take your life

Now you have your second class citizen

And you can have my filthy life

you can have my filthy life

you can have my filthy life
