It Ain't Easy Being Me

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 no where 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 w/ 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 to get 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 It ain’t easy being me
