lyrics

I guess I was a bad boy
When I was a young boy
If not, then why am I now so rotten
Never could find a certain someone
Someone to love me
And it’s left me oh so misbegotten
I tried to put out good vibrations
But they came back wanton

I know I’m kind of messed up
Yeah you could say I’m a little bit flawed
But if I could ask just one thing
I’d ask you to spare the rod
Spare the rod
You don’t need to hurt me

I sit around wishing and a-hoping
That my life is one big cabaret
But then why do I always do the one thing
That always forces people to try to get away
It seems I will do it now and I will do it forever
From now until doomsday

How can you look me in the eye
And not feel what I feel
How can you pretend to know who I am
And not know what is real

I wish I had an answer
Or at the very least a glimpse
Just a little peek into wider mentality
Maybe then I’ll know I’m not alone
Or some kind of weird abnormality
And I could finally embrace the end
With a sense of joyous finality
