Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Busting in on a new roommate
Banging your beautiful Zoom-mate
Looking a lot like a mess-up, mess-up
[Verse 2]
Giving a standing ovation
Orchestra's tuning up, shame, shame
Highly uncultural mess-up, mess-up
[Verse 3]
Winning through illicit doping
Ladder collapsed while eloping
So many ways you can mess up, mess up
[Chorus]
Run far away, run and just hide
Know that in time shame will subside
[Verse 4]
Phoning in sick 'cause you're laid up
Boss sees you racing your Ram truck
Now you're laid off, what a mess-up, mess-up
[Verse 5]
Too eager in your acquainting
Boyfriend of hers has you fainting
Heavy right fist, now you're messed up, messed up
[Chorus]
Run far away, run and hide
Know that in time shame subsides
[Verse 6]
To-ing when you should be fro-ing
Staying when you should be going
So very easy to mess up, mess up
[Verse 7]
Panning what you should be lauding
Booing while others applauding
Always a sign of a mess-up, mess-up
[Chorus]
Run far away, run and then hide
Hope that someday your shame subsides
In time your shame subsides
In time your shame subsides
[Verse 8]
Messing up, jig is up, you've messed up
Messing up, jig is up, you've messed up
[Verse 9]
Trying too hard to be crying
Audience sees that you're lying
Just a theatrical mess-up, mess-up
[Verse 10]
You say you never have messed up
How 'bout a minuscule 'fess up?
Surely, just once you have messed up, messed up
[Outro]
Run far away, run and hide
Run far away, run and hide
