Lyrics

They've been saying "You're sophisticated" They're complaining, overeducated You are saying all the words I'm dreaming Say it after me Say it after me They will blame us, crucify and shame us We can't help it if we are a problem We are tryin' hard to get your attention I'm climbin' up your wall Climbin' up your walls And don't go there 'cause you'll never return I know you think of me when you think of her But then it don't make sense when you're trying hard To do the right thing but without recompense And then you did something wrong and you said it was great And now you don't know how you could ever complain Because you're all confused, 'cause you want me to But then you want me to do it the same as you You were waitin' for the elevator You were sayin' all the words I'm dreaming No more askin', questions, or excuses Information's here Here and everywhere And don't go there 'cause you'll never return I know you think of me when you think of her But then it don't make sense when you're trying hard To do the right thing but without recompense And then you did something wrong and you said it was great And now you don't know how you could ever complain Because you're all confused, 'cause you want me to But then you want me to do it the same way as you, and then I don't, I don't want anything I know it's not It's not your fault I don't want anyone As I do It's not for you Ah, ah-ah-ah-ah, ah-ah, ooh-ooh Stockholders Same shit, a different life I'll get it right sometime Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight Oh, maybe not tonight (Yeah boy, here we go) (And a one, and a two, and a three) (Here we go friends) (Come on, I can't) (Maybe that's a kooky situation) (So let's go back to the old key, old tempo, everything)
