Lyrics
Saddam:
Some people say that I'm a bad guy
They may be right, they may be right.
But its not as if I don't try
I just fuck up. Try as I might.
But I can change, I can change.
I can learn to keep my promises, I swear it.
I'll open up my heart and I will share it.
Any minute now I will be born again.
Yes I can change, I can change.
I know I've been a dirty little bastard.
I like to kill, I like to maim, yes, I'm insane, but it's okay 'cause I can change.
Its not my fault that I'm so evil
It's society, society.
You see, my parents were sometimes abusive
And it made a prick of me.
But I can change, I can change!
I can learn to keep my promises, I know it!
I'll open up my heart and I will show it...
Any minute now I will be born again!
Satan:
But what if you never change?
What if you remain a sandy little butthole?
Saddam:
Hey Satan! Don't be such a twit.
Mother Teresa won't have shit
On me!
Just watch, just watch me change here I go I'm changing!!!
Heeeeeeey Satan!
