i licked the lap of luxury
bit off enough to chew
i love the taste of anything
that i can spit at you

i feel bad to be good
and so misunderstood
about bad and what's good
and what's misunderstood
to be had is too good
to be misunderstood
it's just sad that i don't have a friend

i crashed the family limousine
i drove to feel the drive
the chauffer's dead my mother said
and you're the one alive

i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
what you bought was free

the famine hit the laminate
i paid for has expired
i'm braving it i'm saving it
for later when i'm fired
i wouldn't want what's left of you
to be what's left of me
hypocrisy is stalking me
i'm kissing lips and feet

i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
what you bought was free

the pelican brought baby in
i wish the boy was mine
it must have been the heroin
that kept me in my prime

i feel bad to be good
and so misunderstood
about bad and what's good
and what's misunderstood
to be had is too good
to be misunderstood
it's just sad that i don't have a gun

i left my home and family
they still don't know i'm gone
i'm looking for a family that listens to my songs

i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
i can't be what you want me to be
what you bought was free...
