I've seen a thousand places, heard a million lies
Sweet talking angels with cheap alibis
I've been a gambler, a prisoner for most of my life
Exploited and beaten, now my joker's gone wild

I've seen suckers and losers 'round this big bad world
Pushers and users with lines I've never heard
I've seen Jesus before me like an angel of death
I'm qualified for heaven but I'm hell-bound instead

I need to save myself
I don't need no one else
I can't believe myself
I need to save myself
Save myself

I've seen bloodshed and murder
In the name of your soul
Innocent victims scream out on death row
Rich men burn money, poor men eat dirt
Suicide and madness take away all the dirt

I need to save myself
I don't need no one else
I can't believe myself
I need to save myself

Save myself
I don't need no one else
I can't believe myself, no
I need to save myself
Save myself

If God's up in heaven, I'm asking him why
He lets us believe in this deep religious lie
When my numbers up, my name's top on your list
Don't bother calling, 'cause I won't be in

I need to save myself
I don't need no one else
I can't believe myself
I need to save myself

I need to save myself
I don't need no one else
I can't believe myself
I need to save myself

Save myself, save myself
Save myself, save myself
I don't need no one else
Save myself
I need to save myself
Save myself, save myself
Save myself, save myself
