Lyrics:

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 nowhere
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 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 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 that'll bring you back
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
