Nobody likes you very much
In fact nobody likes you at all
Nobody cares about care about
You weird old oddball
You live in a dark, dark world
Where the worst shit always happens
And when a good thing comes along
It doesn’t send you snappin’
You’re downer
D-d-d-d-d-downer
Wherever the sun is shining
Well it ain’t shining down on you
Every day is a crappy day
Where you shake your fist and rue
Never could quite understand
Why couldn’t see your own good luck
There were a multitude of them
But you didn’t seem to give a fuck
Nobody thinks about you much
You barely rate a single blip
People would rather talk about the weather
Or engage in odd brinksmanship
Don’t know why you were so dour
Or why harped on tragedies
Just wanna slap upside the head
And kick you in the knees
We will get along well without you
You and your stupid face
Enjoy your miserable so-called life
From the rest of us in the rat race
