I don't like this guy and I don't want him here
And I'm not really crazy about you either, my dear
To tell you the truth, I think you'd all better leave
You're just using up the air that I breathe
Hey... didn't I see you on avenue B
Reading some miserable, lame poetry
And I remember thinking, 'why don't you just
Get a job?
All this whining and moaning.
Man, you don't know hard'
Yeah, I've been down, but never like this
I'm dark and despondent and easily pissed
Maybe I just need a good therapist
Yeah, I've been down, but never like this
I will sing what I want to, you beady-eyed mole
Fi nd someone else's soul to cajole
I'm no fresh, fl y, johnny-come-lately
I prefer my songs in a minor key
Yeah, I've been down, but never like this
I'm crampy and cranky and certainly pissed
Don't ask me to smile, I will resist
Yeah, I've been down, but never like this
Now all of a sudden there are things to avoid
I used to be fun, but now I'm annoyed
And it doesn't help any to read the tabloids
Are we more in harm's way or just more paranoid?
Oh tell me again, you think I'm stressed?
Y'think I've got issues I need to address?
Well, I can't argue that, but tell me how do I keep
These visions away and get back to sleep
I'm thinkin' montana or saskatchewan
I am thinking about some boat I can get on
But wait just a minute, I love nyc.
Let those sick sonsofbitches just try and get me
And yeah, I've been down, but never like this
I'm nauseous, neurotic, but primarily pissed
And now someone resents the fact I exist?
Well yeah, I've been down, but never like this
Yeah
I've been down, but never like this
