It's a poetry reading, so let's all laugh

By the time this one's over I'll have you flat on your backs

Everyone likes a circus show

And this freak is back for one more go

CHORUS:

And there's just three things that pull down on me

First of all there's gravity and then the way you looked at me

But most of all it's my own goddamn idea

Of what I think I should be

Maybe you could tell be the way I walked

You said you knew I was stupid before I'd ever talked

And if it's true that we hate what we are

Then I'm the most self-righteous bitch by far

CHORUS

So here I am hanging it all out on the line again to dry

And when I'm with you know I always laugh I never ever cry

You know nothing of me and I'll keep it that way

Just keep your stupid mouth shut

and I won't hear a word that you say

CHORUS
