[Verse 1]
Do I stress you out
My sweater is on backwards and inside out
And you say, "How appropriate!"
I don't wanna dissect everything today
I don't mean to pick you apart, you see
But I can't help it

[Pre-Chorus]
And there I go jumping before the gunshot has gone off
Slap me with the splintered ruler
And it would knock me to the floor if I wasn't there already
If only I could hunt the hunter

[Chorus]
And all I really want is some patience
A way to calm the angry voice
And all I really want is deliverance
Ah, aao, aao, aao, aa, aah

[Verse 2]
Do I wear you out
You must wonder why I'm relentless and all strung out
I'm consumed by the chill of solitary
I'm like Estella
I like to reel it in and then spit it out
I'm frustrated by your apathy

[Pre-Chorus]
And I am frightened by the corrupted ways of this land
If only I could meet the maker
And I am fascinated by the spiritual man
I'm humbled by his humble nature, yeah

[Chorus]
And what I wouldn't give to find a soulmate
Someone else to catch this drift
And what I wouldn't give to meet a kindred
Ah, aao, aao, aao, aa, aah

[Bridge]
Enough about me, let's talk about you for a minute
Enough about you, let's talk about life for a while
The conflicts, the craziness and the sound of pretenses falling
All around, all around

[Verse 3]
Why are you so petrified of silence
Here, can you handle this
Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines
Or when you think you're gonna die
Or did you long for the next distraction

[Pre-Chorus]
And all I need now is intellectual intercourse
A soul to dig the hole much deeper
And I have no concept of time other than it is flying
If only I could kill the killer

[Chorus]
And all I really want is some peace, man
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is a wavelength
Ah, aao, aao, aao, aa, aah
And all I really want is some comfort
A way to get my hands untied
And all I really want is some justice
Ah, aao, aao, aao, aa, aah

[Outro]
It's all I really want, some patience
A way to calm me down
And all I really want is deliverance
A place to find a common ground
And all I really want is some justice

[Verse 1]
I want you to know that I'm happy for you
I wish nothing but the best for you both
An older version of me, is she perverted like me
Would she go down on you in a theatre
Does she speak eloquently? And would she have your baby
I'm sure she'd make a really excellent mother

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died? 'Til you died
But you're still alive

[Chorus]
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

[Verse 2]
You seem very well, things look peaceful
I'm not quite as well, I thought you should know
Did you forget about me, Mr. Duplicity
I hate to bug you in the middle of dinner
It was a slap in the face how quickly I was replaced
And are you thinkin' of me when you fuck her

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the love that you gave that we made
Wasn't able to make it enough for you to be open wide, no
And every time you speak her name
Does she know how you told me
You'd hold me until you died? 'Til you died
But you're still alive

[Chorus]
And I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

[Instrumental Break]

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause the joke that you laid in the bed that was me
And I'm not gonna fade as soon as you close your eyes
And you know it
And every time I scratch my nails
Down someone else's back I hope you feel it
Well, can you feel it

[Chorus]
Well, I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know
Why I'm here to remind you
Of the mess you left when you went away
It's not fair to deny me
Of the cross I bear that you gave to me
You, you, you oughta know

[Verse 1]
I'm broke, but I'm happy
I'm poor, but I'm kind
I'm short, but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high, but I'm grounded
I'm sane, but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost, but I'm hopeful, baby

[Chorus]
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is givin' a high five

[Verse 2]
I feel drunk, but I'm sober
I'm young, and I'm underpaid
I'm tired, but I'm working, yeah
I care, but I'm restless
I'm here, but I'm really gone
I'm wrong, and I'm sorry, baby

[Chorus]
And what it all comes down to
Is that everything's gonna be quite all right
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is flickin' a cigarette

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
And what it all comes down to
Is that I haven't got it all figured out just yet
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is givin' a peace sign

[Verse 3]
I'm free, but I'm focused
I'm green, but I'm wise
I'm hard, but I'm friendly, baby
I'm sad, but I'm laughing
I'm brave, but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick, but I'm pretty, baby

[Chorus]
And what it all boils down to
Is that no one's really got it figured out just yet
Well, I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is playin' a piano
And what it all comes down to, my friends, yeah
Is that everything is just fine, fine, fine
'Cause I've got one hand in my pocket
And the other one is hailin' a taxi cab

[Verse 1]
Wait a minute, man
You mispronounced my name
You didn't wait for all the information
Before you turned me away

Wait a minute, sir
You kinda hurt my feelings
You see me as a sweet back-loaded puppet
And you've got meal ticket taste

[Chorus]
I see right through you
I know right through you
I feel right through you
I walk right through you

[Verse 2]
You took me for a joke
You took me for a child
You took a long hard look at my ass
And then played golf for a while

Your shake is like a fish
You pat me on the head
You took me out to wine, dine, 69 me
But didn't hear a damn word I said

[Chorus]
I see right through you
I know right through you
I feel right through you
I walk right through you (Woo)

[Verse 3]
Oh, hello, Mr. Man
You didn't think I'd come back
You didn't think I'd show up with my army
And this ammunition on my back

Now that I'm Miss Thing
Now that I'm a zillionaire
You scan the credits for your name
And wonder why it's not there

[Chorus]
I see right through you
I know right through you
I feel right through you
I walk right through you, you

[Verse 1]
You know how us Catholic girls can be
We make up for so much time, a little too late
I never forgot it, confusing as it was
No fun with no guilt feelings
The sinners, the saviors, the loverless priests
I'll see you next Sunday

[Chorus]
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

[Verse 2]
I sang Alleluia in the choir (Alleluia)
I confessed my darkest deeds to an envious man
My brothers, they never went blind for what they did
But I may as well have
In the name of the Father, the Skeptic and the Son
I had one more stupid question

[Chorus]
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

[Bridge]
What I learned I rejected, but I believe again
I will suffer the consequence of this inquisition
If I jump in this fountain, will I be forgiven

[Chorus]
We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing or two to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

We all had delusions in our heads
We all had our minds made up for us
We had to believe in something
So we did

We all had our reasons to be there
We all had a thing to learn
We all needed something to cling to
So we did

[Outro]
So we did
Ooh-ooh, I, I, I
So we did

[Verse 1]
I recommend getting your heart trampled on to anyone
Yeah, oh
I recommend walkin' around naked in your living room
Yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Swallow it down (What a jagged little pill)
It feels so good (Swimming in your stomach)
Wait until the dust settles

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

[Verse 2]
I recommend biting off more than you can chew to anyone
I certainly do
I recommend sticking your foot in your mouth at any time
Feel free

[Pre-Chorus]
Throw it down (The caution blocks you from the wind)
Hold it up (To the rays)
You wait and see when the smoke clears

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

[Pre-Chorus]
Wear it out (The way a three-year-old would do)
Melt it down (You're gonna have to eventually anyway)
The fire trucks are comin' up around the bend

[Chorus]
You live, you learn
You love, you learn
You cry, you learn
You lose, you learn
You bleed, you learn
You scream, you learn

[Outro]
You grieve, you learn
You choke, you learn
You laugh, you learn
You choose, you learn
You pray, you learn
You ask, you learn
You live, you learn

[Verse 1]
What's the matter, Mary Jane
You had a hard day
As you place the "Don't Disturb" sign on the door
You lost your place in line again, what a pity
You never seem to wanna dance anymore

[Chorus]
It's a long way down
On this roller coaster
The last chance streetcar
Went off the track
And you're on it

[Verse 2]
I hear you're counting sheep again, Mary Jane
What's the point of trying to dream anymore
I hear you're losing weight again, Mary Jane
Do you ever wonder who you're losin' it for

[Chorus]
Well, it's full speed, baby
In the wrong direction
There's a few more bruises
If that's the way you insist on heading

[Verse 3]
Please be honest, Mary Jane
Are you happy
Please don't censor your tears

[Chorus]
You're the sweet crusader
And you're on your way
You're the last great innocent
And that's why
I love you

[Verse 4]
So take this moment, Mary Jane
And be selfish
Worry not about the cars that go by
'Cause all that matters, Mary Jane, is your freedom
So, keep warm, my dear, keep dry

[Outro]
Tell me, tell me
What's the matter, Mary Jane
Tell me, tell me
Please be honest, Mary Jane
Tell me

[Intro]
Hey, yeah, yeah
Yeah, ah-ah-ah, yeah, hey

[Verse 1]
An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Verse 2]
Mr. Play-It-Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down
He thought, "Well, isn't this nice "

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Bridge]
Well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out
When you think everything's gone wrong
And everything blows up in your face

[Verse 3]
A traffic jam when you're already late
A "No Smoking" sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife

[Pre-Chorus]
And isn't it ironic
Don't you think
A little too ironic
And yeah, I really do think

[Chorus]
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
And who would've thought? It figures

[Outro]
And yeah, well, life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
And life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

[Verse 1]
You like snow, but only if it's warm
You like rain, but only if it's dry

[Pre-Chorus]
There's no sentimental value to the rose
That fell on your floor
There's no fundamental excuse
For the granted I'm taken for

[Chorus]
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you

[Verse 2]
You like pain, but only if it doesn't hurt too much
And you sit, and you wait to receive

[Pre-Chorus]
There's an obvious attraction
To the path of least resistance in your life
But there's an obvious aversion
No amount of my insistence could make you try tonight

[Chorus]
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you
To you, to you
To you

[Post-Chorus]
There's no love
No money
No thrill anymore

[Verse 3]
Well, there's an apprehensive, naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
And there's an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand

[Chorus]
But it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you

[Outro]
Get up, get up, get up off of it
Get up, get up, get up off of it
Get out, get out of here, enough already
Get up, get up, get up off of it
And wake up
