It Ain't Easy Being Me
There oughta be a town somewhere
Named for how I feel
I could be the mayor down there
And say welcome to Sorryville
You won't find it on a map nowhere
You might say that it don't exist
But if you make enough wrong turns
It'd be hard to miss
There oughta be a somewhere
They could dedicate to me
I'd probably come to the ceremony
With a can of gasoline
I'd walk on over to the other side
And there I'd light a match
I'd sit and stare through the smoke and flames
Wondering 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 light and I 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 nothing as I watch you pack
I've had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me
There oughta be a sideshow act for freaks like me
I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee
In a room with a big red button
That says, "Danger do not touch"
And twice a day I could 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 light and I 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 nothing as I watch you pack
I've had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me, it ain't easy being me
Named for how I feel
I could be the mayor down there
And say welcome to Sorryville
You won't find it on a map nowhere
You might say that it don't exist
But if you make enough wrong turns
It'd be hard to miss
There oughta be a somewhere
They could dedicate to me
I'd probably come to the ceremony
With a can of gasoline
I'd walk on over to the other side
And there I'd light a match
I'd sit and stare through the smoke and flames
Wondering 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 light and I 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 nothing as I watch you pack
I've had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me
There oughta be a sideshow act for freaks like me
I could be the star of the show with my name on the marquee

And I know the words that'll bring you back
But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack
I've had to work to be the jerk I've come to be
It ain't easy being me, it ain't easy being me
