Get dirty, get clean

Get some new scene to wipe the dirt from everything

That touches you and takes you far from faith

In body, in deep I saw you creeping

Little footsteps through my sleep and

Color me with images of faith

And you can be anyone or just some mother's wasted son

Oh, you can be your own god if you want to

Come over, come quick, come laugh, get sick

Come battle two swords with a stick

And when you've gone I'll put it through my chest

Because listen kid everybody knows you can fit good company up your nose

And we've all heard it's better worst than best

[Chorus]

And you can love anyone

You will believe me when I'm gone

Oh, you can be your own god if you want to

Come on to my side, you will define me with a knife

Spare me all the misery as I tear apart your life

Oh you can lose yourself in art

Or you can break somebody's heart in two

Jump on in, the water's fine for swimming

Look over, look fast, again look past

The motley kids and ugly cast

That smother you, all radiant with joy

'Cause somebody once said when I was young

That playing dead was just no fun

But these days I am a man, I'm not a boy

[Chorus]

And you can be anyone

Or just some mother's wasted son

Oh, you can be your own god if you want to

Come on to my side, you will define me with a knife

Spare me all the misery as I tear apart your life

Oh you can lose yourself in art

Or you can break somebody's heart in two

Jump on in, the water's fine for swimming

Go on split your scene and let the dirty half come clean

You are the wrecking force, you are the wrecking force in me

Cause I'm the self machine I was hot when I was sixteen

You are the wrecking force, you are the wrecking force in me
