When you get to feeling that you're sick beyond redemption
That your spirit is too twisted, too dissolute to mention
That you're just another hypocrite adrift upon the flood
When you can't see the puddle for the mud

Well I know if you go looking you'll find villagers with torches
There's no shortage here of fingers pointing eagerly from porches
And the medicine you need is in no bottle and no book on any shelf

And baby you should know cause you have filled them all to breaking
You have swallowed every one the studies showed might be worth taking
You were serious and skeptical of power, fame and wealth but
You never learned to love yourself

No one taught you how
Cause no one
Taught them how either
Gonna have to figure it out
It's gonna take time and it won't be easy

Well it's misshapen Caliban rejected by his father
In the mangroves thinking "why the hell should anybody bother?"
Self flagellating further, sickened by his own self-pity
It is every man, in every city

It is everyone pretending they're somehow immune to pain
Or if they aren't, anyhow, that yours and theirs are not the same
Or else that mentioning it publicly might mitigate success
Or what is I guess is anybody's guess

No one taught you how
Cause no one
Taught them how either
Gonna have to figure it out
It's gonna take time and it won't be easy
