I tie my things down To the roof of my car I see it flying Into someone's yard
When I go to retrieve it I'm on the White House lawn Secret Service attacks me I get bit by their dog
~CHORUS~ Bite marks and blackened eyes, I don't want that kind of surprise. Bruises on my head and a bloody nose. I'll make sure to steal a White House rose. ~END CHORUS~
My farm is gone My livelihood in vain My children beg With a face of pain
But now who am I To those who care Just a shadow With a thin head of hair
~REPEAT CHORUS~
If so much knowledge sets the people free Then tell me why I was so happy Before Before you got to my head With every word you say to me You tear my whole world to shreds.
When I was happy you said I was dumb Just a stupid kid sucking his thumb Well tell me What means more to you A happy man or One more desperate man like you
I can learn about the world from a metal chair Or I can pick up my feet and take a walk out there What you want? I'll be a fat lazy man You made me lazy already When I'm not working your plan
Yet every day I sit right down Raise my hand and go to town I'm a fool You told me loud and clear But there's nothing you can do about that Cause I'm a little weird.
