Sacrifice!
|
Christ-like sacrifice!
|
Pass that cup to me
|
I will bear the price
|
If the puny and insignificant
|
Are to have a glimpse of peace
|
Then someone much like I myself
|
Almost exactly like I myself
|
Must rise above the rabble
|
By helping them to their knees
|
As this is how I see myself
|
|
I might as well anoint myself
|
For the greater good of us all
|
You'll thank me in the end
|
For the loss of the weak and small
|
You'll thank me in the end
|
Though it may seem painful at first
|
You'll thank me in the end
|
And you'll wonder how things could get worse
|
You may not reach the end
|
|
Speak my name as your last breath is spent
|
When you were lost in your ignorant haze
|
And afraid of the dark
|
I led you out again!
|
When you dreamed that God was love
|
And life was a lark
|
I woke you up again!
|
|
For my sacrifice
|
Who will bear the price?
|
The extraordinary problems
|
That occur from day to day
|
Require somebody like myself
|
|
Let's say exactly like I myself
|
So that ordinary labors
|
May proceed with least delay
|
So we've elected me myself
|
Since we can think of no one else
|
When you're in the mood to complain
|
You'll call me in the end
|
Then for things that I'll do in your name
|
You'll blame me in the end
|
|
But if I use the right choice of words
|
Your family and friends
|
You'd betray like a cowardly turd
|
Then refuse to watch the end
|
Then we'll go through the whole thing again
|
|
And when I'm standing astride your backs
|
With my head in the stars
|
You'll take me in the end
|
While I'm bending you over and
|
Screwing you hard in the arse
|
You'll love me in the end
|
|
Pass that whip to me
|
Let us raise the price
|
Sacrifice!
|
Never knowing love
|
Just so you can believe a power above
|
This is my sacrifice!
|
You'll thank me
|
You'll thank me in the end
|
You'll like me in the end
|
You'll love me in the end
|
You'll praise me in the end
|
You'll thank me
|

You'll Thank Me In The End
