lyrics

Songfacts®:

This song, featuring Zakk Wylde from Black Label Society, begins with the "Serenity Prayer." This prayer is one of the main credos of Narcotics Anonymous. The original prayer is much longer; however, the 12 step programs recite it as following:

God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
The courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.
In the video, Edsel Dope (Lead Vocals/Guitar) is wearing the Black Label Society colors, which are the decorations on a motorcycle vest. >>>
