There oughta 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 oughta 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, where I'd light a match
Sit and stare through the smoke and flames
And wonder how I'm gonna get back
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way, am I 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 oughta be a sideshow act for freaks like me
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 can 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 to get 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
