Oh well, you sit alone and
Your brain begins to rot
And so you chase behind your
Every crazy thought
And find a human scapegoat
To blame your problems on
Paste on a plastic smile,
Pretending nothing's wrong
You go to work and sometimes
You scream and bitch and whine
You know that I'm so grateful
That none of your problems are mine
And so you find a punching bag
With a face that looks like me
And then you beat it senseless
Until it springs a leak.
Oh well, your life is empty
And so you buy some toys
And when something goes wrong
You get so fucking annoyed
The pages in your scrapbook,
They get all yellow and faded
And I'd be cynical if I
Wasn't so goddamned jaded
And so you make excuses
For writing poison pen notes
Just make sure in your mind
You're always above reproach
Look over the rim of your glasses
And then look down your nose
It's easy to feel superior,
I know ...
'cause nothing matters when you're indestructible
You better fail or else it's bound to fuck with you
Oh well, it's pointless to dwell on the past
But it's ever so easy just to think you've been had
I'm just a martyr/extra in this scene
So I hope you'll excuse me for being a libertine
I get so angry, so mean
Stab my voodoo doll
Stab my voodoo doll
'til it bursts, 'til it bursts
At the seams, at the seams
'cause nothing matters when you're indestructible
You better fail or else it's bound to fuck with you
I know you might think that you're infallible
But nothing matters when you're ...
Perfect
