I'm not ashamed of what I told you I'm not afraid because my life's an open book I know where I've been Just like I told you So before you point that finger make sure your hands are clean So you go on and you judge everybody like you won't be judged yourself You keep riding your high horse preaching how the rest of us should live our lives I ain't one to be backing down So I'm treated like an outlaw in my own hometown Cause narrow is the gate and difficult the path which leads to life and there are few who find it I'm not ashamed of what I told you I'm not afraid because my life's an open book I know where I've been Just like I told you So before you point that finger make sure your hands are clean I go and I try to hold my head up proud but everywhere I turn
Somebody's dragging my name through the dirt Who I was My past and where I come from Is just a tiny brush stroke in the painting that I like to call my life Yeah I've done things I regret But society will never let me forget With the yuppies and the cops and the self-righteous that fear us cause we're not like them So many things that I want to say but if I did then Babylon would take me away Just open up your hearts Let love come running in and seek the truth And you will find it 'cause I'm not ashamed of what I told you I'm not afraid because my life's an open book I know where I've been Just like I told you So before you point that finger make sure your hands are clean Yeah yeah
