Kid Rock - My Oedipus Complex (2000 Version) lyrics

I need somebody, won't you help me I need somebody, won't you tell me who I am I've been living a lie so long it seems I've lived a lifetime If you could see what I feel it'd make your ghetto look like Heaven And I believe it stems down from my family situation I never liked my old man I couldn't stand to be around him Sometimes I sit all alone just staring at his picture, yeah My heart turns to stone and I think of this I need somebody, won't you help me I need somebody, won't you tell me who I am You never loved me, you never held me tight Instead you shook me like a beast to wake me up at night You tried to make me think that your ways were best When all I was was an outlet for all your stress Life: it's the ultimate sin A game with no rules that you're expected to win My personal Hell's hidden with a grin Dad, take the stand and let the trial begin You said that oil and water don't mix, though it seems cool Keep with your own and don't f** up our gene pool You should've went to school like your bigger brother But you played the fool with a different color Running ship with a whip I tried to keep up but I kept getting tripped Money made you so wise How could you look through my face and not see your own eyes Do as I say and not as I do But I can't cause when I look in the mirror I see you And oh the pain how it hurts It was always your home and your business that came first You said a man is as good as his word But your mind was closed and mine never heard My visions blurred, thoughts obscured And with my blinders down I strayed from the herd They say the nut don't fall far from the tree Look at you then look at me You ain't nothing to me, you've never been to me And all you ever gave a f** about was money, see So now f** you man, you ain't sh** to me And it's the day when I die of this hate that I'm free Now I know growing up son that it ain't always been easy And I know at times I was not always there for you No, we never spent much time just talking or having a good time But understand growing up son, I never had a dime So I worked my a** off and I put myself through college And everything I have to this day, you know I built it all Oh I wish I could go back and change the years that's lost between us I wish I could take back some of the things I said to you Son, I said I'm sorry but still you resent me so Son, I said I'm sorry and why do you resent me so I always loved you, I always cared for you Just never wanted you to go through what I've been through I tried to raise my f**ing family just the best I know And now I'm hated like the Devil and for why, I don't know Daaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh I need somebody, won't you help me I need somebody, won't you tell me who I am I need somebody, please, please help me I need somebody, you must tell me who I am Hey, hey, hey Tell me who I am Hey, hey Tell me who I am I am, I am Tell me who I am, am, am Tell me Tell me (60 seconds later) If it looks good, you'll see it If it sounds good, you'll hear it If it's marketed right, you'll buy it But if it's real, you'll feel it
