They knew all along They're not dumb, they were so wrong She's not always fun Hate it now, call when I'm done Pieces fell in place Puzzles suck, laugh in my face Turn and swing the pace I'll give this, keep the good waist Head is on I want out I'm alone and I'm an easy target Metronome I want out I'm alone and I'm an easy target Crazy TV dreams might be true Not what it seems. Food and cavities, chewing words Tear at the seams He don't feel so good, don't feel bad Not that he should I don't feel so good, don't feel bad Not that I should Did you ever listen? Get out
