I'm a bastard child of a broken home   I raised myself up on my own   Where do you turn when you feel alone?   Deprived of a childhood and more   I'm angry, bitter, pissed and sore   Now I've got feelings that you can't ignore      All my life I've been out on my own   My innocense and youth are all but gone   All my life I've been out on my own   My strength to carry on is all but gone      I make my choices just for me   I'll be the man I want to be   All my allegiance here is gone   I made the man you see right here   I've made it by on luck and prayers   I've made it out of your careless care      All my life I've been out on my own   My innocense and youth are all but gone   All my life I've been out on my own   My strength to carry on is all but gone!
