lyrics
For all the stupid things I've done,
and all the ways it could have ended wrong, ended wrong.
At the wheel drunk and stoned,
I should have ended up a pile of bones, a pile of bones.
But you watched over me,
giving this charmed life one more opportunity,
And then you prayed for me,
when anyone in their right mind would have left me hanging out to dry.
And I'm awestruck you're such a dumb fuck,
I'm gonna punish my guardian angel for
letting me live one minute more
Outrageous conduct,
I'm gonna test my luck,
I'm gonna punish my Guardian angel with,
the worst things that I can commit.
For every smoke I ever lit,
For every drink and every hit I took,
put it in your book,
for every little accident,
and every suicide attempt that failed,
just more blackmail.
But you spared, spared me,
Letting this asshole get away with it scot-free.
And you never abandoned me,
When everything I perpetrate should lead me right down to my fate.
And I'm awestruck you're such a dumb fuck,
I'm gonna punish my guardian angel for
letting me live one minute more
Outrageous conduct,
I'm gonna test my luck,
I'm gonna punish my Guardian angel with,
the worst things that I can commit.
The worst things that I can commit.
The worst things that I can commit.
And every time I feel even a little bit guilty,
I think of the sorry bastard who wasn't so lucky,
So I blame you for the pain that I tried to escape,
I blame you for every heart I hurt, all my mistakes.
So give it up and don't bother,
don't waste your prayers on this clown.
One of these days I know you'll let me down.
And I'm awestruck you're such a dumb fuck,
I'm gonna punish my guardian angel for
letting me live one minute more
Outrageous conduct,
I'm gonna test my luck,
I'm gonna punish my Guardian angel with,
the worst things that I can commit.
And I'm awestruck you're such a dumb fuck,
I relish every blasphemy, there's nothing left here to redeem,
Outrageous conduct,
I'm gonna test my luck,
I am the soul you tried to save but I just want to make you pay.
I'm gonna punish my guardian angel, I'll punish my guardian angel.
I'm gonna punish my guardian angel, I'll punish my guardian angel.
