I'm born down in the dirt, born with mud in my eyes Born kicked in the teeth born a loser in life So put me on the pedestal so everyone can see And listen to the gospel of the living mockery. Yeah... I will be, Yes sanctified! I'm negatively spent every single day A tortured beaten soul in every single way I'm such a goddamned fool for living the way I do But I play the hand I'm given, not the hand I choose Yeah... I will be, Yes sanctified! Sanctified! Bring me down again as a holy man And bring down again as a holy man. And bring me down again as a holy man Like a holy man Now I'm the hero of masses, king of the world A disciple to conviction it's obvious yet absurd How someone's way of living can become converse From pauper to prince, a blessing to a curse. Yeah! I will be yeah sanctified! I will be yes sanctified, Sanctified I will be, Justified
