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
It wouldn?t be on a map nowhere you might say 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 flames
Wondering how I?m gonna get back?
(chorus)
Why do I do the things I do
Was I born this way am I a self made fool
I shoot the lights and I 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
There ought to be a sideshow act for freaks like me
Yeah I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button that says danger do not touch
Twice a day I?d mash it down and you could watch me self-distruct
(repeat chorus)
