Yeah, that's me, no good for nothing
No good for nothing at all
That's what they say, whoever they are
They know how to make me feel small
I'm a freak, a freak of nature
Down on the bottom I trawl
Yeah, that's me, I'm a loser
I'm not what I used to be
No, not that I was anyone great
Anyone who'd make history
And if I vanished overnight
No one would look for me
I am God's mistake, I am for God's sake
As lowly as a garden snake
God's mistake
Yeah, that's me, I am a dummy
And I do what a dummy does
I do it all backward when I do it at all
Don't know why or because
And in the end no one sees me
No one sees who I was
Yeah, that's me, I am a fool
And people laugh at my folly
They say, What a dope, and then they snicker
Glad I can make them so jolly
But if they saw the real me
They might change betcha by golly
They might say, He's not God's mistake
They might say, He's not God's mistake
