I'm sorry father, I don't know what to say
I know I let you down, almost everyday
I've tried so hard, just to change my ways
But I can't change myself in just one day
All the groundwork, I've had to lay
Just to get to the point, where I can sau
I said hey, I like the way
I said hey, I like the way I am
I'm sorry uncle sam, you're not gunna get me down today
I know you're trying real hard, but you're not gunna get your way
Trying, to take my freedom. I said nah no way
Not gunna take it away, not any day
Yeah the life I lead, it shouldn't make me have to pay
I work so hard, yeah I'm working everyday
I go to his job, that I really hate
Have to deal with all these people, that make me quite irate
And so I said (so I said)
I'm sorry, for being the way, the way I am
