[verse]
They're building up a building
Just in front of my window
It's covering up the sun
It's the worst thing I ever saw
They filled up with men in ties
That drag large money with their lies
The bus station in the streets
Like a cage full of crows
They're goin to their work
Just in front of my window
And I'm here like I'm ten years old
I'm weird, awkward and odd
Yeah, I know
[chorus]
I've been told to be a real man
To win a lot of money
My ex-lover went away
She said I'm too freaky
Hard to put society down
when you have to fight depression
I've been told to be normal
The dumbest world, I think
They grab me by the hair
and throw me in water, I sink
But I'm a special flame
I keep burning into the sea
Of shame
[verse]
The factory is in town
They're searchin' for someone
Sent to me a letter "Do you wanna be happy ?
Do you want girls and money
I know you won't disagree"
I play music outside
In the only place I like
They're lookin at me now
"What is he doing in this park ?
He sings about her ex-butt
He must be such a dumb nut"
But me, I know
[chorus]
I've been told to be a real man
To win a lot of money
My ex-lover went away
She said I'm too freaky
Hard to put society down
When you have to fight depression
I've been told to be normal
The dumbest world, I think
They grab me by the hair
And throw me in water, I sink
But I'm a special flame
I keep burning into the sea
Of shame
