Lyrics

[00:10.06] Sometimes I feel like I shouldn't apologize so much
[00:12.43] that it's jive it's a crutch
[00:13.62] I just used when I'm judged
[00:15.08] bein' fudged by a face I can't erase and can't see
[00:17.52] cuz I misplaced a dossier or Monty Python CD
[00:19.98] or somethin' stupid like that
[00:21.35] but jesus is that so bad
[00:22.66] to make my ego go splat
[00:23.92] like a tire goin' flat
[00:25.16] or fat on a big mac
[00:26.42] I'm bein' attacked
[00:27.29] tit for tat
[00:27.67] you ****in' bureaucrats
[00:28.88] you can just apologize back
[00:30.75] But I don't know when it comes and it goes
[00:32.83] all the highs and the lows
[00:34.13] in this motionless psychosis
[00:35.81] ieeieei and I die fadin' straight away
[00:38.40] ieeieei and I cry every waking day
[00:40.96] I don't know what else to say
[00:43.22] I'm sorry for the mess
[00:45.21] the stupid way I'm dressed
[00:46.51] I guess I failed my test
[00:47.80] oh don't you know I'm sorry for my views
[00:50.40] I musta been confused
[00:51.67] and yet you know that really I'm sorry for you
[00:58.33] Well now I don't mean to offend, much
[01:00.17] just comprehend
[01:00.82] when you're female and you're fenced in and
[01:02.44] phen-phened to no end
[01:03.46] and no zen guide to men will help you fend off the brethren
[01:05.91] and then the pen appears
[01:06.97] and better than the oxygen network
[01:08.51] or the sword or the spear or the fork
[01:09.84] or the bored pork-fed horde
[01:11.15] it's a mooring post
[01:12.05] the whore you'll miss the most when you're away
[01:13.61] when you're in Snowshoe PA
[01:14.86] doin' some play from Backstage
[01:16.23] that deals with AIDS and race and gays and
[01:17.59] relationships and ballet
[01:18.66] and then you're like “hey yay what'd you say?
[01:20.43] I can just sing my troubles away?”
[01:21.51] but then you're ****ed
[01:22.18] 'cause you gotta make a buck
[01:22.84] and the whole world sucks
[01:23.52] and you're like a lame duck
[01:24.15] that's lyin' dyin' tryin' to sell out
[01:25.46] but there's no one buyin' and there's all this doubt
[01:26.67] and you can preen and dream and scream and shot
[01:28.33] but your life's affliction is the fiction of Faust
[01:29.36] But I don't know when it comes and it goes
[01:31.45] all the highs and the lows
[01:32.77] in this motionless psychosis
[01:34.46] ieeieei and I die fadin' straight away
[01:37.06] ieeieei and I cry every waking day
[01:39.58] I don't know what else to say
[01:41.82] I'm sorry for the time
[01:43.88] the stupid way I rhyme
[01:45.15] I knew I shoulda chose a life of crime
[01:46.94] I'm sorry for my blues
[01:48.99] I guess it's all old news
[01:50.35] and yet you know that really I'm sorry for you
[01:57.06] I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry
[02:07.12] I also mirror this apology
[02:08.46] this idealogy of sorry
[02:09.69] in part of the liberal theology that's leading us to hari-kari
[02:12.50] it's like a mythology, almost
[02:13.66] like a malingering ghost
[02:14.80] as we slowly decompose
[02:16.05] writing in the grave of the polls
[02:17.38] cryin' for Senator Wellstone and then proceeding to moan
[02:19.90] at our own supposed sabotage of the elections at home
[02:22.42] “oh somebody phone home!
[02:23.74] the American people have spoken!”
[02:24.96] now is that certain?
[02:25.75] maybe those nice Midwestern folks were just jokin'
[02:27.51] in any case there's no use in dopin' chokin' mopin' and sobbin'
[02:30.12] come on you disheartenin' dobbins
[02:31.50] sayin' sorry is my problem
[02:32.72] so to conclude
[02:33.44] I'm a little of a prude
[02:34.13] so it's difficult for me to have to allude
[02:35.18] to all this rude crude verbal baggage
[02:36.62] but I manage cuz I'm a savage inside
[02:38.53] I may listen to Enya's greatest hits
[02:39.57] and try to control my hissy fits with pride
[02:40.94] won't get my hair dyed
[02:41.85] but oh the onus of lyin' all the time
[02:42.96] I don't wanna say, “diiiie mother****er!”
[02:44.34] but I wouldn't mind if you did
[02:45.50] Janet Reno has no ego when devoured by the id
[02:48.20] and so before I flip my lid my crib
[02:49.33] and get myself out of this bind
[02:50.58] you can hear what's on my lips but you don't know
[02:52.26] what's in my mind
[02:53.72] I'm sorry for the mess
[02:55.22] the stupid way I'm dressed
[02:56.50] I guess I failed my test
[02:57.87] oh don't you know I'm sorry for my views
[03:00.39] I don't know how to schmooze
[03:01.68] and yet you know that really I'm sorry for you
[03:08.13] I'm sorry for you I'm sorry for you
[03:16.16] I'm sorry
