It Ain't Easy Bein' Me
There ought to be a town somewhere Named for how I feel Yeah, I could be the mayor down there Say, 'Welcome to Sorryville' It wouldn't be on a map nowhere You might say it that it don't exist But if you make enough wrong turns It'd be hard to miss There ought to be a bridge somewhere They could dedicate to me I'd probably come to the ceremony With a can of gasoline And walk on over to the other side And there I'd light a match And sit and stare through the smoke and flames Wonderin' how I'm gonna get back Why do I do the things I do? Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool? I shoot the lights and I curse the dark I need your love but I break your heart And I know the words that'll bring you back But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be It ain't easy bein' me Ought to be a side show act For freaks like me Yeah, I could be the star of the show With my name on the marquee In a room with a big red button That says, "Danger, do not touch" Twice a day I'd mash it down And you could watch me self-destruct Why do I do the things I do? Was I born this way? Am I a self-made fool? I shoot the lights and I curse the dark I need your love but I break your heart And I know the words that'll bring you back But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be It ain't easy bein' me Now, it ain't easy bein' me
