lyrics

Open up my head to look at what's inside and
See that it's a pile of shit
Everything I say, at least everything you hear is
Coming from a pointless pit
Maybe it's my fault and maybe it's not cause
I wasn't always like that
Got a piece of paper, told me what I'm worth, yeah
Maybe I'll live up to that

(Chorus)
Hey my friend, hey my friend, look at what I found
Look at me, look at me, maybe you'll see it
Hey my friend, hey my friend, look I found my brain
But you see, but you see, I don't really need it

I don't go to school I've never read a book and
Never seen a pencil
Never told a lie and none of that's the truth cause
Everything's believable
Look at what you taught me, look at what I've learned
I can count to ten
Tell me that's inadequate, tell me there's another guy
Who can use a pen

(Chorus)

Maybe you're a bad kid, maybe you're hopeless
Maybe you'll waste our time
Here's a free pass to do what you want with
I hope you find a job in time
I'll be what you want, I'll be a perfect soul and
I will be your sponge
Soak up everything and squeeze me back out
I'll shrivel like a snail in the sun

(Chorus)
