lyrics

born like any warm-blood beast, between the piss and shit
i was torn from mama's poor-old teats to suck a bitch's tit
my pa was an impostor with no paternal claim on me
he inherited a foster child who caused eternal grief
welcome home to bethlehem
turn the other cheek they laughed and pulled my breeches down
a prophet has no honor mongst the people of his town
i learned em bout the needle's eye, my sweat turned into blood
this could end in fire, i said, this could end in flood
welcome home to bethlehem
my real dad wasn't round much he forsook his only son
but i tried my best to please that man in everything i done
i broke the law so many times i busted it in two
then got busted by the law for petty crimes and thrown in shu
welcome home to bethlehem

he live he lives
but different than before
the lights are on but no one's home
his soul's windows are doors
he lives he lives
but changed from what he was
through empty halls he nightly roams
he knows not what he does
he lives he lives
