[00:03:25] 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
