| Maybe today or the day after that
|
| Gonna have to come to terms with who I am
|
| Not myself, rather with whom
|
| Talkin''bout the folks in the other room
|
| Round their door on the tips of toes
|
| Kids at school figured out a while ago
|
| Now they take turns at throwing stones
|
| While I talk on the phone in whispered tones
|
| Irony defined
|
| Is the opposite of what you had in mind
|
| If you need a context clue
|
| This would be the example that I’d use
|
| You call me weak and unnatural
|
| I don’t move an inch at all
|
| I just stare you down and laugh it off
|
| I guess it’s easier to recite
|
| Than to ever bother trying to get it right
|
| No skin off my back will be losing sleep
|
| Over the kin they decide to keep
|
| Mom and dad are gonna throw me out
|
| When I tell them what I’m all about
|
| I got it sweet but I gotta blow
|
| They all hate me and they don’t even know it
|
| I’m willing to accept what might happen today
|
| I can’t surrender without giving myself away |
