Bastard

(From Time)

Didn't mean to change the situation I'm in
I was just looking for a good time
Didn't mean to have no sense of where to begin
I was just looking to ease my mind

I am a bastard, and I'm a sight
Not quite black and not quite white
All the kids just scream with fright
They'll tell you I'm not quite right

Didn't mean to change my mind from where it was at
But I'm tired of "keepin' it real"
The only time I ever knew that I had a place,
I wore three bruises and a scar on my face

So help me, I am a bastard, and I'm a sight
Not quite black and not quite white
All the kids just scream with fright
They'll tell you I'm not quite right

Didn't know I didn't need a reason to live
'Cause baby, I want to learn to love, I want to give
I won't deny I see writing on the wall,
But maybe, if I can, I'm gonna rewrite it all

I am a bastard, and I'm a sight
Not quite black and not quite white
All the kids just scream with fright
They'll tell you I'm not quite right
