You don`t have to tell me that I`m stubborn `cause I`m not and I know `cause it runs in my family it skips every other generation You don`t have to save my soul or make me feel like I`m in control. It`s not worth the double scotch whiskey that you`d have to buy me.
You look like your surprised. Like when will I get wise
But I`ll just drive them same dead ends I`ve tried and I think I know why
There`s no connection between what I want and what is good for me. The truth I tell myself not to believe
There`s no connection between what I am and where) I`m supposed to be. The truth I tell myself not to believe.
I really could have been some thin`
but I`m not and I know that it`s somebody else`s fault
Just like every fucked up thing that`s ever happened
I could have been like the king or someone who(would always win)(or someone who you knew would win)(or someone you`d bet on to win)could really sing
Folks would line up round the corner just so they could come n` hear (watch me) me
There I go again. Them devils love that sin. Well they can`t end what I do not begin.
So I`m safe where I`m in.

Don`t think that I`m expecting you to stay
`Cause you won`t and I know `cause I`ve seen it a million times
It`s my charming self destructive disposition
Yeah I think that happy endings are for fools
Who feel like will never loose
People, who think (believe) there`s a God out there that`s gonna save them
I`ll get this round my friend. Then we`ll start again
The way we did when we were who we are. Have we come that far?
