It Aint Easy Being Me

There ought to be a town somewhere Named for how I feel Yea I could be the Mayor dowm there And say welcome to Sorryville It wouldn't be on a map nowhere You might say it that it don't exist But if you make enough wrong turns It'd be hard to miss There ought to be a bridge somewhere They could dedicate to me I'd probably come to the ceremony With a can of gasoline Walk on over to the other side And there I'd light a match And sit and stare through the smoke and the flames Wondering how I'm ever gonna get back Why do I do the things I do Was I born this way am I am a self made fool I shoot the lights and curse the dark I need your love but I break your heart And I know the words that'll bring you back But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be It ain't easy being me Ought to be a side show act for freaks like me Yea I could be the the star of the show With my name on the marquee In a room witha big red button that says danger do not touch And twice a day I'd mash it down And you could watch me self destruct Why do I do the things I do Was I born this way am I am a self made fool I shoot the lights and curse the dark I need your love but I break your heart And I know the words that'll bring you back But I don't say nothing as I watch you pack I had to work to be the jerk I've come to be It ain't easy being me >From Chris Knight "Chris Knight" Decca Records 1998 Bash Music/Almo Music/Daddy Rabbit Music(ASCAP)
