There
ought to be a town somewhere to aim for how I feel
I could be the mayor down there and
say wel come to sorryville
Wouldn't be on a map,
no way you might say that it don't exist
But if you make enough wrong turns,
could it be hard to miss?
There ought to be a bridge somewhere
they could dedicate to me
I'd probably show up at the ceremony
with a can of gasoline
Walk on over to the other side,
and there I'd light a match
Then sit and stare through the smoking flame,
wondering how I'm gonna get back
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way?
Am I a self -made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark I
need your love and I break your heart
I know the words that'll bring you back
But it don't say nothin'
as I watch you pack
I've had to work to be the
jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me
There ought to be a sideshow
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
And twice a day I'd bash you down and
you could watch me self -destruct
Why do I do the things I do?
Was I born this way?
Am I a self -made fool?
I shoot the lights and I curse the dark I need
your love and I break your heart
I know the words that'll bring you back
But I don't say nothing
as I watch you pack
I've had to work to be the
jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me
It ain't easy being me
It ain't easy being me
