lyrics

This isn’t a gimmick - this isn’t a test
When I was young my mama said to always be the best
Do you hear that?
Sound of a heart attack --

People who want to fight, will find a fight
I’m not looking for a fight I just want to get this right
People who want to fight, will find a fight
I’m not looking for a fight I just want to live my life
I tried to be a tinbox, I tried to be a villain,
I tried to be a clown, I tried to be a heroine,
I tried to put my hair up, I tried to look well-fit,
But when I let loose - down came guilt-and-blame arithmetic

Contort yourself in pose, to show off all your bones,
That shit don’t impress me, instant plasticity
I don’t want nice skin, I don’t want nice clothes,
I know where it’s made, I know where it’s sold

I tried to be a teammate, I tried to be a pro,
I tried to play it cool, I tried to play it slow,
I tried to drive the safe-lane, it’s too fast in the city
Will I crash the car
Or will the car crash into me?

It sucks to be a rug
It sucks to be a bug

If you feel like a freak by the size of your feet then tananana
If you feel like a freak by the language that you speak then tananana
If you feel like a freak by the naive hope you keep then tananana
If you feel like a freak by the pulse of your beat then --

It sucks to be a rug
It sucks to be a bug

I tried to be a keychain, to lock away my past
But you can’t hide your nature, it’s in your first name and your last
I tried to be a banner, but I don’t represent
I guess I don’t relate, I guess I’ve no intent

And if you feel like shit
And if you’re full of hate
And if you’re putting all your anger
In the hit-and-miss wrong place
Then try being a sweeper
Try being a dustpan
Try being a driver
Try being a woman
Your dust is the death of someone else
Your dust is the death of someone else
Your dust is the death of someone else
Your lust is the death of someone else

Don’t stress too bad about yourself, it’s only life babe, OH WELL
