Excuse me, oh pardon me I'm still sticky on the inside There comes a time where all I do Is sit around in contemplation And curse my situation I'm just too bored for normal views Be careful of what you wish for Impossible to just ignore One last time is all I need To get my life and stocks in order They're on the rise this quarter Beware of certain friends Who sell you out when everything is free I know what I am to all of you And I've got all these other things to do To do Open up and know enough I'm overused Everyone I've ever loved is easily amused Go ahead and tell the dead it's only you But I am much too old I am much too old I am much too old now Imagine this chaos theory Makes all the profits leery Somebody's showing them the ropes We used to hang ourselves with Instead of quiet respite We choose the noose in lieu of hope Oh rose red, oh violent blue I should've seen the clues but This song is dumb and so am I Character assassinations Are really observations Stay home and ask yourself Why am I so low when I'm so high So high Open up and know enough I'm overused Everyone I've ever loved is easily amused Go ahead and tell the dead it's only you But I am much too old I am much too old I am much too old now Yeah Come on Open up and know enough I'm overused Everyone I've ever loved is easily amused Go ahead and tell the dead it's only you But I am much too old I am much too old I am much too old I am much too old
