Everything To Everyone

You put yourself in stupid places
Yes, I think you know it's true
Situations where it's easy to look down on you
Think you like to be the victim
Think you like to be in pain
I think you make yourself a victim
Almost every single day

You do what you do
You say what you say
You try to be everything to everyone
You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be
Everything to everyone

(Aah)
Yeah, you do it again
(Aah)
You always do it again

You say they taught you how to read and write
Yeah, they taught you how to count
I say they taught you how to buy and sell
Your own body by the pound
I think you like to be their simple toy
I think you love to play the clown
I think you are blind to the fact
That the hand you hold
Is the hand that holds you down

You do what you do
Yeah, you say what you say
You always try to be everything to everyone
You know all the right people
You play all the right games
You always try to be
Everything to everyone

Spin around and fall down
Do it again
Yeah, you stumble and you fall
Yeah, why won't you ever learn?
Spin around and fall down
Do it again
Yeah, you stumble and you fall
I wonder if you'll ever learn

Yeah, why won't you ever learn?
Come on now
Do that stupid dance for me
(C'mon, c'mon, dance for me)
(C'mon, c'mon, dance for me)
(C'mon, c'mon, dance for me)
(C'mon, c'mon)
Ooh, yeah

Well, you do what they tell you to do
You say what they say
You try to be
Everything to everyone
Yeah, you jump through the big hoop
You play all the right games
You try to be everything to everyone

(Spin around and fall down)
Do it again
(You stumble, you fall)
Daddy, do it again
(Spin around and fall down)
Do it again
(You stumble and you fall)
