| You owe a lot to self-pity
|
| It got you through your darkest days
|
| And anybody looking at the record
|
| Would say you had a case
|
| You never imagined
|
| That you’d ever really make it through
|
| And now that you have, you don’t know what to do
|
| The future has arrived, but where are you?
|
| Ooh wah ooh, I see you crying
|
| Ooh wah ooh, I hear you trying
|
| Though you’ve got it down to a science
|
| Self-pity won’t help you now
|
| Look at yourself
|
| Do you really believe
|
| That the world needs to see
|
| Another aging enfant terrible?
|
| Alienation makes the world go round
|
| And as a fashion statement
|
| It’s absolutely sound
|
| But you’re not really an alien, as such
|
| Self-confidence makes you seem so out of touch
|
| But self-pity seems like it’s a bit too much
|
| Ooh wah ooh, looks like you blew it
|
| Ooh wah ooh, looks like you knew it
|
| Though you taught the world how to do it
|
| Self-pity won’t help you now |
