Lyrics

[Intro]
No, I'm not a star
I'm a king of the road, yeah
La-la la-la, la, la la-la
[Verse 1]
Springfield's looking pretty dusty today
I see their dreams coming undone
The view from inside ward nine affords this much
A town teeming with the unloved
Close the window and lock it so it's good and tight
[Chorus]
La-la la-la, la, la la-la
La-la la-la, la
[Verse 2]
Turning eighteen and trying not to look too lost
Have a not-so-nice day
The jacket makes me straight, so I can just sit back and bake
You know I think I'm gonna stay
Talking very loud but no one hears a word I say
[Chorus]
La-la la-la, la, la la-la
La-la la-la, la
La-la la-la, la, la la-la
La-la la-la, la
[Verse 3]
Come visit me tonight at 8:00 and then you'll see how I
Am not the crazy one
Voices tell me
I'm the shit
[Bridge]
Twenty days go by and every day looks the same
[Chorus]
La-la la-la, la, la la-la
La-la la-la, la
La-la la-la, la, la la-la
La, la, la, la, la
[Outro]
I'm the shit
