Crackin' Up

Ever since this troubled world began*

Every woman and man...

Ver maisTrying to find some purpose in their lives,

A way to survive.

And I'm the same,

I'm not ashamed:

Riddle's my middle name.

I'm not a saint,

I've got no complaints:

There's a lot of worse things

I ain't.I'm crackin' up.

People wanna put their tag on you,

Define what you do,

And you might enjoy some small renown

But it's hard to live down.

Stuck in a mould,

Do what you're told,

A product that's bought and sold,

Made out of straw.

Sentenced before

The Court

Of Unwritten

Law.I won't stand for it so

I amCrackin' up.

I've got no time for it so

I amCrackin' up.

Though I hide behind a cool facade

I can't drop my guard,

Almost made myself a nervous wreck

Keeping feelings in check.

You've gotta perform,

Stick to the norm,

Wishing you were never born.

You've gotta behave,

Facing looking brave,

And you'll dig yourself an early grave.
