No One - Those Poor Bastards

I’m not the beast they’ve made me out to be

I’ve done some good things

I’ve done some good things

Like you I have stumbled once or twice

And done some bad things

I’ve done some bad things

My body is a thing corrupt and wrong

It is guilty

Yeah it is guilty

My spirit is the thing that’s dragged along

It is innocent

Lord it is innocent

Oh separate my body from my soul

Oh separate my body from my soul

Let’s go back to how things were back then

When I was younger

When I was younger

Everything was either black or white

It was easier

So much easier

Now everything it looks so gray

I’m older

Now I’m older

Show me a man who deserves to die

You cannot convince me

You cannot convince me

Now show me a man who deserves to live

You have no evidence

You have no evidence

Oh separate my body from my soul

Oh separate my body from my soul

I tried so hard to tell you truth

But lied to you

I have lied to you

The things that you learn and know so well

They are fleeting

Yes they are fleeting

You’re the one who told me who I was

You said you’re no one

So now I’m no one

Oh separate my body from my soul

Oh separate my body from my soul
