Kid Rock, Twisted Brown Trucker Band - 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 fist
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
Fuck 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 fuck about was money
See
So now fuck you man, you ain't shit 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 ass 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 fucking family
Just the best I know
And now I'm hated like the Devil and for why
I don't know daaaaaaa-a ahhhhhhhh

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
