Artist | Nellie McKay |
Album | Get Away From Me |
[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 |

[03:16.16] | I'm sorry |
