The Only Problem With Me Is Im Not You
i should do this
not that
control control control
i should be this way
not like me
sucks to be me
i'm not you
I should be perfect and kind and sweet
such a double standard
i should be a loser jerk idiot
useless as it is to be that useful
i need to figure this out
need to figure that out
write obsessively to overcome your hate speach
figure out your art of conversation to fit in
i should bend over backwards for that person
i shouldn't like that one
i should, i could, i do
fail at being you
sucks to be me
i should write another letter to the prime minister
i should call the premier again
and not get through
i should call the secretary of defense from a concentration camp
forget it just call random police stations overseas
until someone clues in
but forget it they won't
stuck on stupid
and glad not to be me
i should live like this
spend all my money on that
do this that way
and not forget
to never getting a compliment
no job well done
no thank you for your selfishness
just selflessly fit into your stereotype
have the torture victom known as the terrorist
id rather suck at being a terrorist
than be a stool pigeon mole sabateur like you
thank god i'm me
NOT
