Happy to Be Here |
| If I could do what I want I’d become an electrician |
| I’d climb inside my head and I’d rearrange the wires in my brain |
| A different me would be inhabiting this body |
| Have two cars, a garage, a job and I would go to church on Sunday |
| A diagram of faulty circuitry explains how I was made |
| And now the engineer is listening as I voice all my complaints |
| From an orchestra of shaking metal keeping me awake |
| I was just wondering if there was any way that you made a mistake |
| Because I miss it the way that I miss nicotine |
| If it makes me feel better, how bad can it be? |
| Well I heard there’s a fix for everything |
| Then why, then why, then why, then why not me? |
| The 1st of April saw the sickening repair |
| Wore my best shirt to the clinic decorated with the laminate name |
| No one is laughing from an audience of folding plastic chairs |
| And I’m not fooled when you tell me that you’re glad I came |
| Am I just honest to admit or just a hypocrite? |
| I know I should be being optimistic but I’m doubtful I can change |
| Grit my teeth and try to act deserving |
| When I know there’s nowhere I can hide from your humiliating grace |
| Cause if you swear that it’s true then I have to believe |
| What I hear evangelicals say on TV |
| And if there’s enough left after everyone else |
| Then why, then why, then why, then why not me? |
