Everybody is leaving
from this town and from me
They've got the burning flame
they sure achieve their aim
You know that's tough
for me to see
Oh how I wish that I could
do the same as them and go
Just pack my bags and goodbye
Get out fast
or fade away real slow
What you see is
what you get right here
Where a change
is nowhere near
What you see is
what you get from me
In this duckpond
leave me be
I pretend my life is perfect
like the faces on TV
Yeah that's the only way
to face another day
Try to deny the misery
But those are the ways of looney's
and like a clown yeah I do act
No matter where I could be
or would like to go
I'm stuck here
That's a fact
What you see is
what you get right here
Where a change is
nowhere near
What you see is
what you get from me
In this duckpond
leave me be
I'm too weak
I'm down on my knees
Too feeble for something new
Feels like there's
nothing I can do
Keep on laughing 'bout me
Keep on doing your own
But someday
I will be that one
Be that one
Yeah someday
I will be that one
Be that one
Be that one
Yeah someday
I will be that one
Be that one
Yeah someday
I will be that one
