There ought to be a town somewhere
Named for how I feel
Yea I could be the Mayor dowm there
And say welcome to Sorryville
It wouldn't be on a map nowhere
You might say it that it don't exist
But if you make enough wrong turns
It'd be hard to miss
There ought to be a bridge somewhere
They could dedicate to me
I'd probably come to the ceremony
With a can of gasoline
Walk on over to the other side
And there I'd light a match
And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames
Wondering how I'm ever gonna get back
Why do I do the things I do
Was I born this way am I am a self made fool
I shoot the lights and curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that'll bring you back
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me
Ought to be a side show act for freaks like me
Yea I could be the the star of the show
With my name on the marquee
In a room witha big red button that says danger do not touch
And twice a day I'd mash it down
And you could watch me self destruct
Why do I do the things I do
Was I born this way am I am a self made fool
I shoot the lights and curse the dark
I need your love but I break your heart
And I know the words that'll bring you back
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me
