It Ain't Easy Being Me

There ought to be a town somewhere Named for how I feel. Yeah I could be the mayor down there And say "welcome to sorryville". It wouldn't be on a map no where You might say that it don't exist. But if you make enough wrong turns It'da be hard to miss. There ought to a bridge somewhere they could dedicate to me. I'd probably come to the ceremony with a can of gasoline. Walk on over to the other side Where I'd light a match Sit and stare through the smoke and flames and wonder how I'm gonna get back. Why do I do the things I do? Was I born this way or am I 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 But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be. It ain't easy being me. There oughta be a side show act For freaks like me. I could be the star of the show w/ 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 can watch me self-destruct Why do I do the things I do Was I born this way or am I 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 to get you back but But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack I had to work to become the jerk I've come to be It ain't easy being me It ain't easy being me
