Dad loves a pretty game; but who am I now, Dad?
Am I who you want me to be?
Am I what you want me to be?
I went and cut my hair; is that what you wanted?
I'm someone else now; who am I now?
Who am I now, Dad?
Dad says, "Turn that noise down, find something better to do,"
Now you feel the silence; oh, who am I to you?
I changed my look for you, Dad, I went to school for you,
Am I the best kid you ever had?
Dad, who am I now?
Who am I now, Dad?
Who am I now, Dad?
Say I had broken the commandments, even killed a man,
Who am I now, Dad?
Got drunk and wrecked your car,
Who am I now?
Broken down one night, and now that girl is pregnant,
Who am I now? Who am I now?
Am I a murderer or a thief, like a dirty old beggar on the street?
Who am I now? Who am I now?
I am a smile and a handshake, practicing deceit,
Who am I now, Dad? Who am I now, Dad?
I'm the poor, white boy; just white-trash on the street,
Turning out the horses so my wife and kids can eat,
Who am I now, Dad? Who am I now, Dad?
Oh, who am I now?
Oh, who am I now?
Oh, yeah.
Love me,
Oh, love me,
Oh, love me,
Love me,
Oh God, please love me,
Oh God.
