Who am I now, Dad'

Dad loves a pretty game; but who am I now, Dad'
Am I who you want me to be'
Am I what you want me to be'
I went and cut my hair; is that what you wanted'
I'm someone else now; who am I now'

Who am I now, Dad'

Dad says, "Turn that noise down, find something better to do,"
Now you feel the silence; oh, who am I to you'
I changed my look for you, Dad, I went to school for you,
Am I the best kid you ever had'
Dad, who am I now'

Who am I now, Dad'
Who am I now, Dad'

Say I had broken the commandments, even killed a man,
Who am I now, Dad'
Got drunk and wrecked your car,
Who am I now'
Broken down one night, and now that girl is pregnant,
Who am I now' Who am I now'
Am I a murderer or a thief, like a dirty old beggar on the street'
Who am I now' Who am I now'
I am a smile and a handshake, practicing deceit,
Who am I now, Dad' Who am I now, Dad'
I'm the poor, white boy; just white-trash on the street,
Turning out the horses so my wife and kids can eat,
Who am I now, Dad' Who am I now, Dad'
Oh, who am I now'
Oh, who am I now'
Oh, yeah.

Love me,
Oh, love me,
Oh, love me,
Love me,
Oh God, please love me,
Oh God.
