lyrics

Here is a story all about me
I'm sure you heard it all before
I whine and complain about all of the same things
That get me through the morn'
You say this sounds familiar in many ways
It could, quite possibly
But if the lyrics are wrong, it changes the song
And you ain't got nothin' on me

And you don't need to tell me that I'm going astray
I just need the time for this
Though how I see it is I'm the most skeptical one

There are things that I have been put through
And many more I'd like to do
But if doing them means I can't daydream
Then I don't see the use
Then there are those who know it all
Proclaiming how the world should be
I'm finding it odd when you're trying to play god
Though you're just as confused as me
But I'll never prove you wrong

And what's becoming of everyone?
What is becoming of me?
You're so becoming if you know what I mean
Why won't you talk to me?

I seem quite capable of brushing off
All that causes pain and grief
But why would I want to do such a thing
When the best feeling is relief
Finally there's you who is a different you
Than every you I've said before
I'll skip you for now and continue to sing
'cause you're everywhere here
So just go with this...

One! Two! Three! Dog! Cat! Giraffe! Zebra!
Giraffe!! Zebra!! Giraffe!!! Zebra!!! Giraffe!!!!!
