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 doesn´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 through 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 going to get back

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

Ought to be a side show 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"
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 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
It ain´t easy being me
