Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't apologize so much[00:03:25]
that it's jive it's a crutch[00:03:25]
I just used when I'm judged[00:03:25]
bein' fudged by a face I can't erase and can't see[00:03:25]
cuz I misplaced a dossier or Monty Python CD[00:03:25]
or somethin' stupid like that[00:03:25]
but jesus is that so bad[00:03:25]
to make my ego go splat[00:03:25]
like a tire goin' flat[00:03:25]
or fat on a big mac[00:03:25]
I'm bein' attacked[00:03:25]
tit for tat[00:03:25]
you f**kin' bureaucrats[00:03:25]
you can just apologize back[00:03:25]
(bridge)[00:03:25]
But I don't know when it comes and it goes[00:03:25]
all the highs and the lows[00:03:25]
in this motionless psychosis[00:03:25]
ieeieei and I die fadin' straight away[00:03:25]
ieeieei and I cry every waking day[00:03:25]
I don't know what else to say[00:03:25]
(chorus)[00:03:25]
I'm sorry for the mess[00:03:25]
the stupid way I'm dressed[00:03:25]
I guess I failed my test[00:03:25]
oh don't you know I'm sorry for my views[00:03:25]
I musta been confused[00:03:25]
and yet you know that really I'm sorry for you[00:03:25]
Well now I don't mean to offend, much[00:03:25]
just comprehend[00:03:25]
when you're female and you're fenced in and[00:03:25]
phen-phened to no end[00:03:25]
and no zen guide to men will help you fend off the brethren[00:03:25]
and then the pen appears[00:03:25]
and better than the oxygen network[00:03:25]
or the sword or the spear or the fork[00:03:25]
or the bored pork-fed horde[00:03:25]
it's a mooring post[00:03:25]
the whore you'll miss the most when you're away[00:03:25]
when you're in Snowshoe PA[00:03:25]
doin' some play from Backstage[00:03:25]
that deals with AIDS and race and gays and[00:03:25]
relationships and ballet[00:03:25]
and then you're like €œhey yay what'd you say?[00:03:25]
I can just sing my troubles away?€?[00:03:25]
but then you're f**ked[00:03:25]
'cause you gotta make a buck[00:03:25]
and the whole world sucks[00:03:25]
and you're like a lame duck[00:03:25]
that's lyin' dyin' tryin' to sell out[00:03:25]
but there's no one buyin' and there's all this doubt[00:03:25]
and you can preen and dream and scream and shot[00:03:25]
but your life's affliction is the fiction of Faust[00:03:25]
(bridge)[00:03:25]
I'm sorry for the time[00:03:25]
the stupid way I rhyme[00:03:25]
I knew I shoulda chose a life of crime[00:03:25]
I'm sorry for my blues[00:03:25]
I guess it's all old news[00:03:25]
and yet you know that really I'm sorry for you[00:03:25]
I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry[00:03:25]
I also mirror this apology[00:03:25]
this idealogy of sorry[00:03:25]
in part of the liberal theology that's leading us to hari-kari[00:03:25]
it's like a mythology, almost[00:03:25]
like a malingering ghost[00:03:25]
as we slowly decompose[00:03:25]
writing in the grave of the polls[00:03:25]
cryin' for Senator Wellstone and then proceeding to moan[00:03:25]
at our own supposed sabotage of the elections at home[00:03:25]
€œoh somebody phone home![00:03:25]
the American people have spoken!€?[00:03:25]
now is that certain?[00:03:25]
maybe those nice Midwestern folks were just jokin'[00:03:25]
in any case there's no use in dopin' chokin' mopin' and sobbin'[00:03:25]
come on you disheartenin' dobbins[00:03:25]
sayin' sorry is my problem[00:03:25]
so to conclude[00:03:25]
I'm a little of a prude[00:03:25]
so it's difficult for me to have to allude[00:03:25]
to all this rude crude verbal baggage[00:03:25]
but I manage cuz I'm a savage inside[00:03:25]
I may listen to Enya's greatest hits[00:03:25]
and try to control my hissy fits with pride[00:03:25]
won't get my hair dyed[00:03:25]
but oh the onus of lyin' all the time[00:03:25]
I don't wanna say, €œdiiiie motherf**ker!€?[00:03:25]
but I wouldn't mind if you did[00:03:25]
Janet Reno has no ego when devoured by the id[00:03:25]
and so before I flip my lid my crib[00:03:25]
and get myself out of this bind[00:03:25]
you can hear what's on my lips but you don't know[00:03:25]
what's in my mind[00:03:25]
(chorus)[00:03:25]
I'm sorry for you I'm sorry for you[00:03:25]
aww, I'm sorry[00:03:25]
eh sh*t[00:03:25]
