[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
