Why am I such a pain in the ass
Why am I always critical mass
Why am I forever stirring the pot
It's not that I like it that way not, no
The road I plow is rocky and rough
Why can't I bounce on the downy fluff
Some get the marrow
Some the gristle
Some get fucked at the starting whistle
Dumb luck
Why I gotta do it
Why I gotta do it
Why I gotta do it
Why I gotta do it the hard way
Why do I keep on rocking the boat
When I can't keep myself afloat
I'm a round peg in a square hole
Your basic archetypal lost old soul
The road I plow is pitted and cracked
The thoughts I think are vaguely abstract
Some get the wheat
Some get the chaff
Some always get themselves the last laugh
Bully, bully
Why do I always play the fool
It's not like I never went to school
Can't help but put my foot in my face
So don't even bother to get on my case
The road I plow is riddled and pocked
My every out well it has been blocked
Some get the gravy
Some get the gruel
Some get crushed, yeah life is cruel
Not fair
