I Used To Be An Asshole

from Homework by Ashley Scrace

/

lyrics

Reading your mail reminded me
Of the person I used to be
From a hard-time family
Lucky to have a destiny

I'd angrily shout my feelings
Leave my own friends reeling
Hell, once I was stealing
The love of others to seal in

My insecure emotions
My bruised and confused soul
I ain't excusing my devotion
To being an asshole.

I'd make a joke about religion
But the punchline was always hidden
Beneath layers forbidding
A peaceful disposition

I'd tell everyone about the others
How we should run for cover
Before they come and smother
This land they're free to discover

My bigoted exclamations
Sure took their toll
I lost friends in conversations
I used to be an asshole

The times they're always changing
I'm always re-arranging
The protests that I'm staging
For the anger that is raging

The key it is forgiveness
And taking back control
Of things once dumb and reckless
I used to be an asshole
I used to be an asshole
I used to be an asshole.
