lyrics

Last time I looked it was all the same
god's in his heaven and the world's aflame
politicians runnin the same ol game
everybody lookin for money n fame

I'm a singer songwriter
I'm a trained observer
I'm a singer songwriter
I'm a process server
I'm a singer songwriter
I may be etherial
but I never run outta material

Men need women and women need men
they hurt each other again and again
they fight and they cheat, they leave n they lie
they break their hearts and wonder why why why

I'm a singer songwriter I'm a lover n a loser
I'm a singer songwriter I'm a substance abuser
I'm a singer songwriter I may be dramatic
but my basement is up in your attic

Know what sayin?
Didn't think so

Can't win a bet with a singer songwriter
he's too cool to be wrong
can't win a fight with a singer songwriter
he'll just put you in a song

Serves you right...

Nothing's real and everything's fake
hope is a joke and life's a mistake
record companies won't give you a break
you don't like my songs go jump in the lake

I'm a singer songwriter I'm a one in a million
I'm a singer songwriter I'm a hero and a villain
I'm a singer songwriter I call em like I see em
and my head belongs in a museum

Who writes this stuff anyway?
Oh yeah
that would be me...
