lyrics
I have my rent, I have my blood, I have my life all in the mud.
I have a face, it's a disgrace, I have apocalyptic taste.
I have a wheel but have no car, I can run but not too far.
I go to work, I go on strike, I ride around my beat up bike.
I have a face, I have a lover, but I've been dreaming of another
Who'll forget me for the other, so why bother.
Every other day my stomach's all tied up in knots,
I told you I can't connect the dots,
I'm a loser, I'm a user, I'm a chronic time abuser.
So take me up and down the boulevard, parade me for five houndred yards.
It's not a mystery as far as I can see, you're coming on so hard
There's something very wrong with who you used to be.
It's the end of an era and the weak are getting weaker.
You got spoiled by your friends who drive around Mercedes-Benz.
You come alone, and leave together, your soul's as heavy as a feather.
There's nothing wrong with discontent, if it leads you to repent.
Your voice is sounding far away and I can't hear a word you say.
I'm never coming back, I stabbed you in the back.
My stomach’s all tied up in knots, I told you I can't connect the dots.
I’m a loser, I’m a user, I’m a chronic time abuser.
So take me up and down the boulevard, parade me for five houndred yards.
It's not a mystery as far as I can see, you're coming on so hard
There's something very wrong with who you used to be.
