Lyrics

i've been busted, beaten,
correctly judged half-crazy, but mislabeled a cretin.
been lied to, cheated,
i think you know i know you know i been mistreated.

i been flipped off, ripped off,
shattered and shut-down by a well-put putdown.
i'm distorted, contorted,
and had my pretext and subtext quoted out of context.

but what can i do? i'm just like you,
still waiting for the wondrous to pervade my purview.
so it's all right, i guess.
just consider what you deliver when you review the whole mess.

i been defamed, ignored,
bullshitted and bullied and begged and implored.
i dwindled when i was swindled,
but i still carry a candle for the next time i'm panhandled.

i've been fucked with, hated,
been downtrodden and forgotten and uncreated.
and downplayed, betrayed, laid-off,
took chances on circumstances that never would've paid off.

but what can i do? i'm just like you.
i got attitude, but no aptitude for anything but servitude.
but it's all right, i guess.
just consider what you deliver when you review the whole mess.

i've been feted, celebrated,
smiled and sieg-heiled at, underrated, frustrated.
been held back, fast-tracked,
but i kept the pedal to the metal when i drove a half-track in iraq.

been accused of heresy, blasphemy,
of having mud in my spokes and of parting the red sea.
perverted,converted. summarily refused service
when i arrived unshirted.

but what can i do? i'm just like you.
i got attitude, but no aptitude for anything but servitude.
so it's all right, i guess.
just consider what you deliver when you review the whole mess.
