Dirty Imbecile

If I'm so smart and I'm so pretty
Damn this town and damn this city
You never give me anything that I want
No one seems to really care
They're just wholly unaware
Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn

But you won't understand
All the things that I am
'Cause I'm crazy in just too many ways
But I get that little feel
When my heart starts beating, lungs stop breathing
All my fibers say to run away

Count my little scars, I've got dozens down inside
I come complete and invincible behind my dirty imbecile
All these things I've tried, boy, be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young
So don't tell me what to fear in the darkness of this atmosphere

Love my mum and love my daddy
Sure they messed me up but that is
Voices that they left inside of my head
Darling, dearest, don't you see
I'm tough, I'm smart, I'm bourgeoisie?
And I'll play out this lie until we're all dead

But you won't understand
All the things that I am
'Cause I'm crazy in just too many ways
But I get that little feel
When my heart starts beating, lungs stop breathing
All my fibers say to run away

Count my little scars, I've got dozens down inside
I come complete and invincible behind my dirty imbecile
All these things I've tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young
So don't tell me what to fear in the darkness of this atmosphere

Am I good? Is all I could enough for you?
I'm so scared of when and where I'll find the truth

Am I good? Is all I could (count my little scars, I've got dozens down inside)
Enough for you? (I come complete and invincible behind my dirty imbecile)
I'm so scared (all these things I've tried, boy)
Of when and where (be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young)
I'll find the truth (so don't tell me what to fear in the darkness of this atmosphere)
