I know they've been whispering about me
On the other side of the street
Where the real people are
Defiling everything that they thought I'd be
Impala through the night
When the saints can't see me
You must know I'm stressed out, paranoid
Like a mascot for all the boys
Puff your chest out, give 'em eyes
You'll be the best out, no compromise
You must know I'm stressed out, paranoid
Like a mascot for all the boys
Puff your chest out, give 'em eyes
You'll be the best out, no compromise
Let's claim a star and name her
Something pretty, we'll take care of her
It's just fluorescent lights
And they're hurting my eyes
You are a Saturday night, I'm a Sunday morning
All these pretty lights have got my skin crawling
I'm up on stage slicing myself open
A step-by-step guide to a full-house funeral
You must know I'm stressed out, paranoid
Like a mascot for all the boys
Puff your chest out, give 'em eyes
You'll be the best out, no compromise
You must know I'm stressed out, paranoid
Like a mascot for all the boys
Puff your chest out, give 'em eyes
You'll be the best out, no compromise
♪
She sees through the lie
All classy but broken
And still yet we try
Masking and lonesome
And see how she cries
A thin veneer of composure
Still we get by
Our glasses held high
You must know I'm stressed out, paranoid
Like a mascot for all the boys
Puff your chest out, give 'em eyes
You'll be the best out, no compromise
You must know I'm stressed out, paranoid
Like a mascot for all the boys
Puff your chest out, give 'em eyes
You'll be the best out, no compromise
You must know I'm stressed out
Stressed out
No compromise
