Lyrics

Don?t try to sell me any of your sentimental garbage
?Cuz it just don?t affect me at all.
See I got me this life I been dyin? to live
And without you, I?m havin? a ball.

You have no friends and you never did
Except for maybe that bottle in your hand
And you try to deny the loser that you are
By laughin? and smilin? and pretendin? like
Everything?s just so grand - (ain?t it, yea?)

I don?t even think of those times with you -
You?re a work of fiction.
You stumble along
Like a Walkin? Contradiction.

You know, I?d love to be there
To see your face
When it dawns on you that I?m gone
And I?m not comin? back?.

Yeah, the world is a much brighter place for me now
I can taste the improvement -
I?m pickin? up slack.

When you gonna learn that love and hate -
Well, they can?t possibly be one and the same?
When you gonna see that you?re no damn good -
And you got only yourself to blame? (Only you-you-YOU)

I see you now with wide-open eyes?
A study in dereliction -
You?re tryin? to get by - like a
Walkin? Contradiction.
Tryin? to get by
Like a Walkin? Contradiction.
