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 NOWHERE
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 SHOW UP
AT THE CEREMONY
WITH A CAN OF GASOLINE
WALK ON OVER
TO THE OTHER SIDE
AND THERE I'D LIGHT
A MATCH
THEN 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 AND
I'LL BREAK YOUR HEART
NOW I KNOW THE WORDS
THAT'LL BRING YOU BACK
BUT I DON'T SAY NOTHIN'
AS I WATCH YOU PACK
I'VE HAD TO WORK
TO BE THE JERK
I'VE COME TO BE
IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' ME
6 BAR
BREAK
THERE OUGHTA BE
A SIDESHOW ACT
FOR FREAKS LIKE ME
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
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 A SELF-MADE FOOL
I SHOOT THE LIGHTS
AND I CURSE THE DARK
I NEED YOUR LOVE
AND I BREAK YOUR HEART
NOW I KNOW THE WORDS
THAT'LL BRING YOU BACK
BUT I DON'T SAY NOTHIN'
AS I WATCH YOU PACK
I'VE HAD TO WORK
TO BE THE JERK
I'VE COME TO BE
IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' ME
IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' ME
IT AIN'T EASY BEIN' ME
