THERE OUGHTA BE
A TOWN SOMEWHERE
NAMED FOR HOW I FEEL
YEAH I COULD BE
THE MAYOR
DOWN THERE AND SAY
WELCOME TO
SORRYVILLE
IT WOULDN'T BE ON
A MAP NO WHERE
YOU MIGHT SAY
THAT IT DON'T EXIST
BUT IF YOU MAKE
ENOUGH
WRONG TURNS
IT'D BE HARD TO MISS
THERE OUGHTA BE
A BRIDGE SOMEWHERE
THEY COULD DEDICATE
TO ME
I'D PROBABLY COME
TO THE CEREMONY
WITH A CAN
OF GASOLINE
AND WALK ON OVER
TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND THERE I'D LIGHT
A MATCH
AND SIT AND STARE
THROUGH THE SMOKE
AND FLAMES
WONDERING HOW
I'M GONNA GET BACK
WHY DO I DO
THE THINGS I DO
WAS I BORN THIS WAY
AM I A SELF MADE FOOL
I SHOOT THE LIGHTS
AND I CURSE THE DARK
I NEED YOUR LOVE
BUT I'LL BREAK
YOUR HEART
AND I KNOW THE WORDS
THAT'LL BRING YOU BACK
BUT I DON'T SAY NOTHIN'
AS I WATCH YOU PACK
I HAD TO WORK
TO BE THE JERK
I'VE COME TO BE
IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' ME
4 BAR
BREAK
THERE OUGHTA BE
A SIDE SHOW ACT
FOR FREAKS LIKE ME
YEAH I COULD BE
THE STAR OF THE SHOW
WITH MY NAME
ON THE MARQUEE
IN A ROOM WITH A
BIG RED BUTTON
THAT SAYS DANGER
DO NOT TOUCH
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 A SELF MADE FOOL
I SHOOT THE LIGHTS
AND I CURSE THE DARK
I NEED YOUR LOVE
BUT I'LL BREAK
YOUR HEART
AND I KNOW THE WORDS
THAT'LL BRING
YOU BACK
BUT I DON'T SAY NOTHIN'
AS I WATCH YOU PACK
I HAD TO WORK
TO BE THE JERK
I'VE COME TO BE
IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' ME
IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' ME
