I used to suffer from a deep and dark depression
At least that was the general impression
I used to suffer with what they call the blues
My soul the color of a midnight bruise
But I have left that all behind
I got other things on my mind
Now I’m on my merry way
Ha ha ha and hey hey hey
The world ahead is one big cabaret
And me I’m on my merry way
On my merry, merry way
I used to think the world was against me
Every little fucking thing incensed me
I used to feel like I was barely human
As butt ugly as Alfred E. Neuman
But now all that seems a little blurry
And I tell myself, What me worry
I used to think I was inconsequential
Never gonna live up to any sort of potential
To a man I was just that guy over there
That guy who seemed to be elsewhere
But I am trying to turn myself around
Folding up my tent in this campground
