Lyrics:

Why can't I beat the banker's deal
Then find a home to rob?
Why can't I lie and cheat and steal?
Who wants an honest job?
And if I curse you night and day
My integrity's been tried
While I waste a life away
Why don't you try and hide?

The end has just begun (Your bastard life's been run)
The end has just begun (Your bastard life's been run)
The end has just begun (Your bastard life's been run)
The end has just begun
Your life's been run
My bastard son

Why can't I turn on the light
And see I'm all alone?
Why can't I change my liar's life
And find myself a home?
And if I did, where would I be?
Lost in my due misery
So if there's truth, you'd better keep
It away from me

So why can't I shut the window tight
And keep the world outside?
And with no friend in sight
To help me fight the tides
My own rests in a hotel room
In a switchblade knife
Why must I find the truth so soon
And end this bastards life?

The end has just begun (Your bastard life's been run)
The end has just begun (Your bastard life's been run)
The end has just begun (Your bastard life's been run)
The end has just begun
Your life's been run
My bastard son
