1. God Made Me
(You got a quarter for your phone?)
I'm jaded, and you're beautiful
I'm deluded, and I'm envious of you
You're carin' that I'm hurtin'
But I'm laughin' 'cause I'm lyin'
And you believe what I say to be true
This is the way God made me
No self-reliance, no social skills
You're confident and you express yourself so well
Your learned degrees upon your wall
I'm jealous, no invitations to the ball
This is the way God made me
This is the way God made me
No self-esteem, you're picture-perfect
You walk about so contented, the trees call out your name
You're clean and I'm so ignorant
I'm basic and I'm jaded and my excuses are so lame
This is the way God made me
This is the way (this is the way) God made me
(I think this is just the way I'm meant to be, yeah)
This is the way God made me
(Well there's no excuse it's just the way God made me)
This is the way (hey, yeah) God made me
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am
It's just the way I am
2. Don't Be Good
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do
Well, I don't know when you learn it
But when you learn it you learn it fast
They're the ones who love to learn
And they're not fast they're nice guys
They finish last
They're waiting and wondering
Where did I go wrong
Don't be good, don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work you see
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do
Well I don;t know when I learned it
But when I learned it I learned it fast
They;re the ones that love to love me
They're not fast they're nice guys
They finish last
They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong
Don't be good, don't be good
Don't you be good to me
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work for me
Ah ah ...
Ah ah ah ah ah ...
Ah ...
Waiting and wondering, waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go wrong
They're waiting and wondering
Waiting and wondering, wondering
They're waiting and wondering
Wondering where did I go, oh
Don't be good, don't be good
Don't be good to me
Don't be good (don?t be good)
Though you should (though you should)
That won't work, you see
Don't be good (waiting and wondering)
Don't be good (waiting and wondering)
Don't you be good to me (wondering where did I go wrong)
Don't be good, though you should
That won't work, you see
So don't be good to me (don't be good, don't be good)
Don't be good to me (don't be good, don't be good to me)
Don't be good to me, good to me, good to me, good to me, good to me
You're so good for me, good for me, good for me
3. Believer
I carry my microphone with me
Everywhere I go
It makes for a very good deadweight
In case of an emergency
In case I need to break your face
In case I need you to be dead
Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands, with the same hands
Ah, sit
I tell my doggie to sit
But I am not a dog
But you make the animal in me
Want to come out all over you
Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe God made you and me
With the same hands
With the same hands
Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know
Who do you think you are
Who do I think you are
I know who you are
And it's hard to believe that God made you and me
With the same hands
With the same hands (with the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)
With the same hands (with the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)
(With the same hands, with the same hands, with the same hands)
And it's hard to believe that I'm still a believer
4. Grace
Please don't go
I cannot breathe you in
Your air is too thick for me
And it makes my lungs sting
Please don't go
I cannot walk beside
Think I'll stay behind a mile
'Cause I don't need you crampin' my style
And do you still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Please don't go
Without you I am weak
I find myself drinkin' and sinkin' and seekin'
Please don't go
Sometimes it gets so cold
That I'd rather grab for a blanket instead
Of getting into your comfort zone
Do you still have grace
And mercy, sweet mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
Ooh ... Oooh ...
Oh oh oh ...
Oh ...
I know I've wronged you
I know I've hurt you so many times
I hope I haven't scarred you
You still have grace
And you still have this mercy
To keep on kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
You still have grace
And mercy, mercy
To keep kissin' my face
Even though I am wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong
If you keep kissin' my face
Someday I'll no longer do you wrong
5. Wayne
I'll be the girl with the long blond hair
And the really pale skin, if you care
I sit in the corner of the room
Cross-legged and quiet, filled with doom, mmhm
I never ever liked the smell in here
It's cold and wet and reeks of beer
The lights are turned out permanently
But that's OK 'cause I don't want to see
Wayne
Wait for me
And take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me
Who's the strange lady with the big silly hair
And berries on her face, dressed like a pear
Do I really have to hold her hand
And pretend she's mommy, your wife and man
When I know you're not my mommy
It's crowded and I feel lost in here
I'm trying to find a familiar fear
I look everywhere but I just can't see
There's not anything that reminds me of me, oh
Wayne
Wait for me
Take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me
You made me fresh as flowers
Under these rocks and stones
Wayne
Wait for me
And take me up in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then wait for me, no oh oh
Take me in your hot air balloon
And feed me cotton candy
Wayne
Pray for me
'Cause I'll be there in a couple of years
Until then, wait for me
6. Hands
Ooh ... ooh ...
Ho ...
Ah ho ho ho ah ...
Oh ...
There's a man outside my door tonight
He cries for help, he sings a pleadin' song
The times are tough for everyone
Gotta hold on to what I got, and just kinda cruise along
Well, I do
Want to be helpful
But it's cold and I'm told
You can't be too careful
Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother
And into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another
Do do do do do
You can never tell who your neighbour is
Or what he's doin' tonight
Or who his friends are
Well, you don't know where he's from
Or where he?s been, or who he knows
You know you can't be too careful
These days
Well, I do
Want to be helpful
Well but it's cold and I'm told
It might just be the devil
Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another
Well, I don't take chances
And I don't take time to see
And I don't take nothin' from nobody
No way, not me
Do do do do do
Ho ah ...
Do do do do do do do
Out of the mouth of a mother
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
And out of the hands of another (do do do do do)
Out of the mouth of a mother
Ho ...
And into the hands of a brother (do do do do do)
Into the heart of a lover
Ho ...
And out of the hands of a child
Into the eyes of a child
Into the ears of a child
Into the heart of a child
Do do do do do
Into the heart of a child
Do do do do do
Into the heart of a child
7. Disagree
Ooh ... oh ... you know it
You know I'd rather disagree
You tell me what you want from me
Well, I'm not sayin' I'll believe
I could solve your mystery
But I would rather disagree
Ooh ... you know it, yeah
You know it
I'd rather disagree
You say the truth will set me free
So how come you're comin' down on me
You think it's real if you can see
Well, I don't take to that philosophy
'Cause you know
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would rather disagree
Yeah
I would rather disagree
Do you see yourself inside of me
And do I take away your miseries
Am I just one more catastrophe
Yeah, I always say what I don?t mean
You know
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
I would I would I would I would I ...
Yeah
I would rather disagree
Yeah
I would rather disagree
I'd rather disagree
I would rather disagree
Don't you feed me, I'm full
You know I'd starve before I'd fall
Don't bleed me, don't bleed me
Even if you're right
Even if I'm wrong
Even if you're right
Even if you're wrong
I'd rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
Oh, I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
I would rather disagree
(Even if you're right)
I would rather disagree
And I would rather disagree
(Even if you're right)
(Even if I'm wrong)
I would rather disagree ...
8. Co-Dependent
When I go swimming
In your intellect
The water's so shallow
And the dialect is so phony
But I eat it up like bologna
I can't get enough
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I can't comprehend it
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent
When you go fishing
For a compliment
It's so, so obvious
And I can't help it
So I put up with it
'Cause you're my habit
And I just can't quit
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I keep on pretendin'
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent
The world keeps spinnin'
Lucifer keeps sinnin'
The joker keeps grinnin'
But I need a new beginning
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I don't recommend it
'Cause I, I, I, I'm your co-dependent
Well, I, I, I, I should end it
But I, I, I, I defend it
Well, I, I, I, I can't comprehend it
Baby, be my co-dependent
10. Boot
Na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Never been here before
Never opened up this door
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others
Never heard him laugh before
Never felt him feel before
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others
He's got a big boot
And he's got a big hand
And he's got a big fist
To put me down
Here we go again
Never heard him lie before
Never seen him cry before
But I got a feelin' it's like the others
Never heard him dream before
Oh, I never felt it before, oh
But I got a feelin' it's just like the others
He's got a big boot
He's got a big hand
He's got a big fist to put me down
He's got a big mouth
And I know he's got some big words
He's got a big knife to cut me down
Is it all ...
Is it all because of the fall
But it's not my fault
How long, long ...
How long ...
How long do I have to long
Never been here before
Never walked through this door
And I got a feelin' it won't be like the others
Even though he's got a big boot
And he's got a big hand
And he's got a big fist, he won't put me down
He's got a big mouth
Bet he's got a lotta big words
I bet he's got a big knife but you know ...
Cut me, cut me down, oh ooh oh
A big fist and he cut me down
Bet he's got a big mouth
Bet he's got some big words
Come on, let's see your big knife
Why don't you try to cut me down
