lyrics

I FEEL STUPID
JUST WALKING AROUND
I LOOK STUPID
GOING UP OR DOWNTOWN

FEELING STUPID
TALKING ON THE TELEPHONE
PROBABLY SEEMING PRETTY STUPID
TO THE SURVEILLANCE DRONE

I LAUGHED LIKE A LIAR
AND I CRIED LIKE A CLOWN
WHILE I JUST STOOD BY
AND WATCHED MYSELF DROWN

I'M SO DUMB
LIKE SOME YANKEE
PRETENDING TO BE FROM DOWN SOUTH

AND I HEAR ALL THEM THINGS THAT I SAY
COMING OUT OF
MY BIG DUMB MOUTH

I'VE BEEN SO DUMB
IN EVERY POSSIBLE WAY
OF COURSE IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE
FOR YOU TO STAY

I'LL GO BACK TO EATING MY CAKE
SPENDING ALL OF MY TIME
MAKING THE WRONG MISTAKES

I'M SO THICK
SO THICK THAT
IT MAKES ME SICK

AND I CAN'T COMPREHEND A CRUMB
I'M NUMB
CAN YOU TEACH ME THE TRICK

IS THERE AN EASY WAY OUT
OR A BACK DOOR IN
CUZ I'M BEGINNING TO DOUBT
IF I'M CHOOSING TO WIN

I'M NOT EVEN HERE
BUT I STILL CAN'T ESCAPE
I'VE BEEN GIVIN EVERY CHANCE
BUT I STILL CAN'T RELATE

I TRY AND I TRY BUT I DON'T TRY THAT HARD
ASHAMED OF THE LIGHT AND BLAMING THE DARK
ASHAMED OF THE LIGHT AND BLAMING THE DARK
