Misunderstood
Every time you stand upReady for your closeupI keep wonderingHow it's all supposed to beThis is gonna blow upStorming in a teacupI'll keep swimmingSteadily against the streamYou don't even heed meTreat me as an enemySee me as a failureAnd see me as dumbYou don't even need meKeep it all in harmonyI am disappointmentAnd I am no fun
How could this be misunderstood
No one will tell youWhy they smile as they berate youThey keep saying it's gonna be fineNo one will help youAs they constantly sedate youThey keep killing the grape on the vine
Singing your own praisesConstantly amazesI don't wanna hear the wordsYou're saying to meHow can I rephrase thisYou're all rats in mazesConstantly you're fightingOver scraps of the cheeseObserving all your weaknessPuddles have more deepnessEmpty vessels clamoring across the seaRevel in your geniusEating clean and needlessI'll be in the cornerWith my dignity
How could this be misunderstood
No one will tell youWhy they smile as they berate youThey keep saying it's gonna be fineNo one will help youAs they constantly sedate youThey keep killing the grape on the vine
