There oughta be a town somewhere Named for how I feel I could be the mayor down there And say welcome to Sorryville You won't find it on a map nowhere You might say that it don't exist But if you make enough wrong turns It'd be hard to miss There oughta be a somewhere They could dedicate to me I'd probably come to the ceremony With a can of gasoline I'd walk on over to the other side And there I'd light a match I'd sit and stare through the smoke and flames 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 light 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've had to work to be the jerk I've come to be It ain't easy being me There oughta 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 could mash it 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 light 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'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
