Making Mistakes

I'm a comedic clown so I'm gonna
Do and say anything that I wanna
Was the man of the house 'cause I never had a father
'Cause of that, I got somebody to make fun of

I ain't even gonna bother to check the weather
I'mma take a stroll out in the day with a sweater
It's windy and cloudy and I feel a little zephyr
Like salt and pepper together feeling better than ever

But now I'm going insane and I'm poppin' out veins
I'm on a rough terrain and I feel a little rain
I'm walking down a hill and I know I shouldn't complain
(But I) feel like a prisoner draggin' a ball and chain

I'm about as colorful as a candy cane
But right now, all I'm feeling is misery and shame
Left brain, right brain, I can't even explain
All I wanted to do for humanity was entertain

(Entertain!)
I made so many mistakes that I lost count
Complained about things I know nothing about
Went through so much and wanted to give up
But couldn't 'cause I love my people way too much
I tried everything to keep it cool
But can't 'cause sometimes I'm so cruel
Now I'm making this sad song
With a happy beat to keep myself strong

Surrounded by a bunch of fanatics
And I'mma make it dramatic
Before I take it to the attic
And start getting erratic
I'm madly shaking so fast, you could call it acrobatic
The reflexes of my mind are bad and automatic

I'm still waiting for that person that is so charismatic
And doesn't make me feel like I am just nothing but static
I'm beginning to panic
I really need a little magic
To bring someone that could make my life a lot less traumatic

(Yeah)
That would be nice, that would be really nice
You know, one day I was given some amazing advice
Never look back at the past, the past is dust
Standing in the future is someone you can trust
My life is so confusing, it's grabbing me tight
First it's left, then it's right, then it's black and it's white
Guess I'm going home 'cause I'm weak and I'm jaded
Just wait for that day when everyone is persuaded.

(Persuaded!)
I made so many mistakes that I lost count
Complained about things I know nothing about
Went through so much and wanted to give up
But couldn't 'cause I love my people way too much
I tried everything to keep it cool
But can't 'cause sometimes I'm so cruel
Now I'm making this sad song
With a happy beat to keep myself strong

And you know according to my tone
I'm feeling very alone
Some people don't care
Some people don't learn
Some people have not the smallest concern

Just wait 'til the very next day
I'll find a better way
To take it all back
Reverse a heart attack
And put the world back on a brand new track!

And you know it's a metaphor
Ever-changing moods
One day you're feeling high
The next you're very low
We can make a breakthrough even though it's real slow
We can go back to the way it was a long time ago

I made so many mistakes that I lost count
Complained about things I know nothing about
Went through so much and wanted to give up
But couldn't 'cause I love my people way too much
I tried everything to keep it cool
But can't 'cause sometimes I'm so cruel
Now I'm making this sad song
With a happy beat to keep myself strong

I made so many mistakes that I lost count
Complained about things I know nothing about
Went through so much and wanted to give up
But couldn't 'cause I love my people way too much
I tried everything to keep it cool
But can't 'cause sometimes I'm so cruel
Now I'm making this sad song
With a happy beat to keep myself strong
