Ballad Of Self Indulgence
Uh uh mic check, mic check
You turn everything up just a bit?
Yea.. uh uh... OHHHH
Well here's a secret about me
I'm a freak, don't know where to be
Turn my cheek and then I'll flee
My brain so weak and on its last knee
Born to quit and down to fall
I might ride ahead and then that's all
I'm not strong to make the long haul
I'd rather be wrong than guess at all
The world's a mess and I care less
All I really need is your caress
I got a pain in my chest from smoking cigarettes
After sex, I get the AIDS tests
I don't really care what is the result
I just turned 20, now I'm an adult
All your problems are all my fault
So I got a tattoo and joined my own cult
You say "hi," I say "bye"
You say "why?" and I'll "shy"
Point in the direction of that nice guy
'Cuz I'm not good for you
And soon I got to die
I'll see you there
Everywhere
The other side
Where we don't care
And it will be
Just you and me
And we'll be happy
But they'll set us free
What's my reason for acting this way?
I don't know, I wish I could say
It's a nice, bright sunny day
I really didn't wanna come out and play
All confused, I got the blues
Don't know which path in life to choose
Here I win, there I lose
Head of sin and all bad news
A paranoid life in void
??
Pop the pills, get your thrills
Feel like shit and say that's it
Next day ??
What's the point? Just smoke a joint
Feel like kings, start to sing
Love in the sun and the life it brings
Well my father put me under the lights
Got a nice LP and a side of complex
Gonna rule the world
Got much to do
Readin' the Bible
Yea I'm on page two
Gonna write a book
And direct the flick
Normal people
Just make me sick
I just need time
Waiting for a sign
God talks to me
Man, I ain't lyin'
Doing fine, gettin' well
Feel like Brad Pitt:
I'm in hell
I need you to ride
???
I just want you and me to be happy
But I know that I'm so lame
And you see right through my game
But I still just want it made
Even though I feel like shit
Maybe I like the way I feel
It's not fun, but at least it's real
Screaming loud, reaching out
I lost you out in the crowd
I see you there
All the way
The other side
Where we don't care
And it will be
Just you and me
We'll be happy
Cuz they'll set us free
