Christopher Esse - What Have I Done

I played by the rules, didn't break any laws
I helped the governor win, that's all
The campaign was rough, as one might expect
So, we used every weapon, went on the attack

The opponent was weak, couldn't take a hit
Complained about fake news and all kinds of shit
After he lost, the guy blew his head
And his family found him, in a pool of red

Tragic and pitiful - a bad way to lose
Perhaps it had something to do with the booze
My kid blames me - he's friends with the son
Whose life has been wrecked by the flash of a gun

Don't hate me for buyin' the life I was taught
Man's gotta fight, ambition or bust
Every day, every miserable day
I'm gonna look back and wonder, what have I done
Ah, hate me

My boy - been takin' it hard
I said I love you man, don't make this my fault
But now to my horror, they've all gone away
My family left me alone with my shame

Ungrateful or stupid, naïve or just wrong
My system has crashed - all my data is gone
Well, it makes no sense to simply go on
I've gotta start from scratch, 'cuz Lord, my will is done

Don't hate me for buyin' the life I was taught
Man's gotta fight, ambition or bust
Every day, every miserable day
I'm gonna look back and wonder, what have I done
Ah, hate me
