Hey now, what do you know?
It's time to go again
Time to go pretend
I'm a typical man
But in my head, I'm going bonkers
Everything is awkward
Please don't look me in the eye!
I'm about ready for another episode
Yeah, my head's about to fucking explode!
But I'll bide my time
And try to find a way
To keep it bottled up inside
How long can I hold on
To this mask of sanity?
What is happening to me?
How long can I fool the world?
How long can I fool the world?

Every day of my life is a goddamned sham
'Yes sir, no sir, thank you, ma'am!
How do you do?
Have you got the time?'
No, No, No, No!
I do not believe there's
Any saving me!
(Nor do I wish there was)
But I'll bide my time
And try to find a way
To keep it bottled up inside
How long can I hold on
To this mask of sanity?
What is happening to me?
How long can I fool the world?
How long can I fool the world?
How long can I hold on
To this mask of sanity?
What is happening to me?
How long can I fool the world?
How long can I fool the world?
I cannot imagine
The gall it took
To say what you said!
(Say what you said!)
But nevertheless, you're a fool
And I could never see the world
The same way as you
Don't seem to appreciate the world!
And I got a lot of shit to do!
The clock has not stopped for this time;
I'll just be passing through!

How long have I held on
To this goddamned state of mind

How long can I fool the world?
