Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Everywhere I go
Someone's trying to be my girlfriend's best friend
I'm trying to pretend I'm relaxed
But I'm playing castanets with my knees
I try to be cool and give her space
But a guy's always there ready to jump right up
And take my place
Everyone in this room seems to wanna make a big fool
Out of me
[Verse 2]
Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "ah"
Everything will be alright
If you play along
[Verse 3]
Everywhere I go
There's someone in a trenchcoat staring at me
When I'm not at home, I'm sure someone's rummaging
Through my trash
Whatever could they want from me?
Is it just a part of a giant government conspiracy?
I gotta go see my doctor about this itchy pentagram-shaped rash
[Verse 4]
Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "ah"
Everything will be alright
This won't hurt at all
(Turn it up)
Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough
Everything will be alright
If you just lay off
[Verse 5]
Dictate a memo to myself
Try to find if I'm the only one in complete health
Consult contemporaries if there are some to see
There really isn't anyone who's in my league
But me
[Verse 6]
Every night at a lane, someone thinks they've got a fine bead
On me
I try to take three deep breaths as I lock in on my minivan
Everyone says I'm looking great
But it's hard to stand up, let alone to try to concentrate
I wish that everyone that I knew hadn't sold out to the man
[Verse 7]
Everybody open your mouth
Everybody just say "ah"
Everything will be alright
This won't hurt at all
[Verse 8]
Everybody get in line
Everybody turn and cough
Everything will be alright
If you just lay
Everything will be alright
If you just lay
Everything will be alright
If you just lay off
