[Verse 1]
I'm allergic to my own shtick
In my mind, I'm choking on the rind of
My assignment to fix the problems, I'm self a-serving
Undeserving, the Heimlich, I'm a bit sick
In my mind, I'm choking on the rind of
Human, kind of, we're kind of blinded, out of 'lignment
Face the pavement
[Pre-Chorus]
Today on the news, there's lot of bad news that's news about news and bad news, too
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanted to be someone that I'm proud about, but I
Been throwin' all my dimes in the fountain, and I'm
Comin' up short, built a big fort, they tore it down to
Abort, abort!
'Cause I wanted to be someone that I'm proud about
Abort!
[Verse 2]
The Heimlich, check the crime rate
I'm a primate holding on to my banana
In the savannah, West Atlanta, oh
Take 'em back to the-
Just do what you have been told!
Stick to the mold!
Don't you dare take the easy road!
This one will tear out your soul!
Leave you cold and helpless!
I am heartless!
[Pre-Chorus]
I am heartless
Place the cutlass
In my guts and pushing up to
Spill my insides out
'Til time runs out
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanted to be someone that I'm proud about, but I
Been throwin' all my dimes in the fountain, and I'm (Fountain)
Comin' up short, built a big fort, they tore it down to
Abort, abort!
'Cause I wanted to be someone that I'm proud about
Abort!
[Bridge]
They played my favorite song
At my junior high dance
Lady in red, save the last dance for me
'Fore I go quietly into the dark, dark
[Chorus]
'Cause I wanted to be someone that I'm proud about, but I
(Tell me what to do, what to do)
Been throwin' all my dimes in the fountain, and I'm (Fountain)
(Tell me what to do, what to do)
Comin' up short, built a big fort, they tore it down to
Abort, abort!
(Tell me what to do, what to do)
'Cause I wanted to be someone that I'm proud about
Abort!
