lyrics

They say my mama dropped me off at the steps of city hall
I'll be damned if I call the cops my pops so I turned around and crawled
To the woods where my reflection shimmers up from a dirty pond
Chewin' on a bone, yeah I'm alone and I'll be that from now on

Because the father is the alpha, or at least that's what I like to say
He sat me down and taught me the difference between pray and prey

One's meant to sustain you, while the other breaks you down
One permits false promises as you kneel before the crown
One teaches to never take that which you can't use
One you'll do in vain my son while you're huddled in those pews

Because the father is the alpha, or least that's what he likes to say
He'll sit you down, pass the tip jar 'round and teach ya how to
Prey and Pray
