There ought to be a town somewhere, Named for how I feel
Yeah I could be the mayor down there and say "Welcome to Sorryville"
Woudlnt be on the map no where you might say it don't exist
But if you make enough wrong turns, It wouldnt be hard to miss
There outa be a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me
I'd probably show up at the ceremony with a can of gasoline
And walk over to the other side, There I'd light a match,
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames, Wonderin' how Im gonna get back
Why I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am i a self made fool
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love and I break your heart
And I know the words that will bring you back
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I've had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It Ain't easy being me
There ought to be a side show act for freaks like me
I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button with a sign that says Danger do not touch
Twice a day Id mash it down and you can watch me self destruct
Why I do the things I do?
Was I born this way or am i a self made fool
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark
I need your love and I break your heart
And I know the words that will bring you back
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I've had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It Ain't easy being me
