It Ain't Easy Being Me

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

And walk on over to the other side and there I'd light a match

And sit and stare through the smoke and flames

Wonderin' how I'm gonna 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 nothin' 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

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 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 that'll bring you back

But I don't say nothin' 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
