It Ain't Easy Bein' Me

There ought to be a town out there Named for how I feel Yeah I could be the mayor down there And say welcome to Sorryville It won't be on a map nowhere You might say that it doesn't exist But if you make enough wrong turns It'd be hard to miss There ought to be a bridge somewhere They could dedicate to me I'd probably come to the ceremony With a can of gasoline Walk on over to the other side And there I'd light a match And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames Wonderin' how I'm gonna get back Why do I do the things I do? Was I born this way, am I a self-made fool? I shoot the lights and curse the dark I need your love but I break your heart And I know the words that'll bring you back But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be It ain't easy bein' me Ought to be a side show act for freaks like me Yeah I could be the star of the show With my name on the marquee In a room with a big red button that says do not touch And twice a day I'd mash it down And you could watch me self destruct Why do I do the things I do? Was I born this way, am I a self made fool? I shoot the lights and curse the dark I need your love but I break your heart And I know the words that'll bring you back But I don't say nothin' as I watch you pack I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be It ain't easy bein' me It ain't easy bein' me
