 So what do you think I am and how precisely could you tell

 A decent skin is all I am

 People think badly of me

 But one day maybe they’ll praise. Oh but meanwhile

 I knew I was next and I didn’t mind

 Here I offer you my life for any debts are due

 And when you’ve been down for the very last time

 There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

 The shadows of trees, they reach me

 They know a decent skin is all I am

 People think badly of me

 But when I’m in my grave maybe they’ll praise. Oh but meanwhile

 I knew I was next and I didn’t mind

 Here I offer you my life for any debts are due

 And when you’ve been down for the very last time

 There is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

  oh but meanwhile

 I knew I was next and I didn't mind

 oh when you've been slapped around then one more slap can't hurt you

 and when you've been down for the very last time

 there is nothing anyone can do to hurt you

 I knew I was next and I didn't mind

 oh when you've been slapped around then one more slap can't hurt you

 and when you've been down for the very last time

 there is nothing anyone can say to hurt you
