Set Me Straight
Told my doctor I'm a man
He told me I gotta get my mind off my disease
Told my father that I can't
He told me I should shrug it off and fight my misery
Somebody set me straight
How can I be so mad when I already have everything?
I gotta set me straight
How can I be so sad when I'll never know tragedy?
Told the martyr I'm a fan
He told me I gotta see the forest for the trees
Asked the beggar what it meant
He told me I got it wrong and got down on his knees
Somebody set me straight
How can I ease my mind when I'll never know anything?
I gotta set me straight
Cause I get to ease my mind and bathe in all of my apathy
Told my preacher I'm a man
He told me I gotta get out and practice what I preach
Asked the sinner how he lives
He told me I should hunker down and keep just out of reach
He told me I gotta get my mind off my disease
Told my father that I can't
He told me I should shrug it off and fight my misery
Somebody set me straight
How can I be so mad when I already have everything?
I gotta set me straight
How can I be so sad when I'll never know tragedy?
Told the martyr I'm a fan
He told me I gotta see the forest for the trees
Asked the beggar what it meant
He told me I got it wrong and got down on his knees
Somebody set me straight
How can I ease my mind when I'll never know anything?
I gotta set me straight
Cause I get to ease my mind and bathe in all of my apathy
Told my preacher I'm a man
He told me I gotta get out and practice what I preach
Asked the sinner how he lives
He told me I should hunker down and keep just out of reach
