[Verse 1]
Countless long nights, while I stare at the wall
I ask myself over again
How did I end up in this little hell?
How did it ever begin?
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, helpless
Helpless to turn back
[Verse 2]
The clock that ticks on, with its cruel shiny face
It laughs while it watches my every disgrace
I was born a sap
All the nurses laughed
When they saw me the first time
They giggled and said
"This poor little monster'd be better off dead"
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, helpless
Helplessly trapped
[Verse 3]
In a body I'm sure should've never been mine
I bet that my real one's doing just fine
And I don't belong here
I don't belong here
I should be quite rich
With a big shiny car
A house with twelve rooms
I deserve to go far
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, helpless
Helplessly falling in love
[Verse 4]
But does love really last through the night?
To love, to honor - to kick and to bite!
And I don't belong here
I don't belong here
It's all a mistake
I was destined for greatness
A leader, a prophet
They're just too blind to notice
[Verse 5]
Where did this whole silly story begin?
It seems that my mind has gone blank
I think that I've messed up a chapter or two
Perhaps it is best if I'm frank
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, oh, helpless
Helplessly lost
[Verse 6]
Like that poor chap who came for an innocent dance
He left with his brain smeared all over his pants
Cause he didn't belong here
He didn't belong here
He never should've left
That warm cage in a zoo
His face was so ugly
What else could I do?
Can you really blame me?
I had to smash it
He left me no choice
He was just like the others
I just had to kill him
Like my poor, dear, old mother...
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, helpless
Helplessly fucked in the ass
[Verse 7]
By a legion of forty ex-cons
That's what it feels like when you walk all over me
Don't belong here
I don't belong here
Your eyes burn right through me
They fill me with fear
I could've been home
Watching football and drinking beer
[Refrain]
Oh, oh, oh, helpless, so helpless...
