Ben Folds Album

How great I am
Gotta tell myself, yeah
I'm the man
Looks grim right now
but pretty soon we'll be laughing about it
Ooh, and it's alright
Yeah it is, I swear you'll see
(it's not really)
Yeah it's alright
Cuz I've always got my family of me

It's not a first
(might be the last)
Yeah I'm sure I
must have been through worse, but
Ooh, it's alright
Got a paddle and a creek
Yeah and it's alright
Cuz I've always got my family of me

You don't stop...

Follow me into the great unknown
Where pink flamingos grow
Diet soda flows
and what you take magically regenerates
on supermarket shelves
the ovens clean themselves
you don't pay the tab 'til the last drop
So we all ride for nothing
Cuz this train never stops

Da da da da da da da da da da...

We make a good team,
me and you, we do
You could scratch my back
And I'll scratch my back too
When Everyone is welcome at the party, yeah
People more is more
Ah we all want more
you don't pay the tab 'til the last drop
So we all ride for nothing
Cuz this train never stops

Da da da da da da da da da da...

You don't stop
you don't pay the tab 'til the last drop
So we all ride for nothing
Cuz this train never stops

Da da da da da da da da da da...

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality

I wasn't born so much as I fell out
Nobody seemed to notice me
We had a hedge back home in the suburbs
Over which I never could see

I heard the people who lived on the ceiling
Scream and fight most scarily
Hearing that noise was my first ever feeling
That's how it's been all around me

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality

I'm all tuned in, I see all the programmes
I save coupons from packets of tea
I've got my giant hit discotech album
I empty a bottle and I feel a bit free

The kids in the halls and the pipes in the walls
Making noises for company
Long distance callers make long distance calls
And the silence makes me lonely

I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality
I'm all lost in the supermarket
I can no longer shop happily
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality
(I'm all lost)
I'm all lost in the supermarket
(I'm all lost)
I can no longer shop happily
(I'm all lost)
I came in here for the special offer
A guaranteed personality

I must give the impression
That I have the answers for everything
You were so disappointed
To see me unravel so easily
It's only change
It's only everything I know
It's only change, and I'm only changing
Lada lada ladadadadada lada ladadadadadada
Lada lada ladadadadada lada ladadadadadada

You want something that's constant
and I only wanted to be me
but watch even the stars above
things that seem still are still changing

Lada lada ladadadadada lada ladadadadadada
Lada lada ladadadadada lada ladadadadadada
Lada lada ladadadadada lada ladadadadadada
Lada lada ladadadadada lada ladadadadadada

Let me tell y'all what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
It's a b*tch, if you don't believe
Listen up to my new CD
(Sha-mon)

I got sh*t runnin' throught my brain
It's so intense that I can't explain
All alone in my white-boy pain
Shake your booty while the band complains

I'm rockin' the suburbs
Just like Michael Jackson did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my sh*tty tracks

I'm p*ssed off but I'm too polite
When people break in the McDonald's line
Mom and Dad you made me so uptight
I'm gonna cuss on the mic tonight

I don't know how much I can take
Girl, give me something I can break

I'm rockin' the suburbs
Just like Quiet Riot did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that they were talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my sh*tty tracks

In a haze these days
I pull up to the stop light
I can feel that something's not right
I can feel that someone's blasting me with hate
And bass
Sendin' dirty vibes my way
'Cause my great great great great Grandad
Made someones' great great great great Grandaddies slaves
It wasn't my idea
It wasn't my idea
Never was my idea

I just drove to the store
For some Preparation-H

Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle-class and white
Y'all don't know what it's like
Being male, middle class and white

It gets me real p*ssed off, it makes me wanna say
It gets me real p*ssed off and it makes me wanna say
It gets me real p*ssed off and it makes me wanna say
F*CK!

Just like Jon Bon Jovi did
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Except that he was talented
I'm rockin' the suburbs
I take the cheques and face the facts
That some producer with computers fixes all my sh*tty tracks

These days
Yeah yeah
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Yeah yeah
I'm rockin' the suburbs
Yeah yeah

You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F*ck'
You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F*ck'
You'd better look out, because I'm gonna say 'F*ck'

I must give the impression
that I have the answers for everything.
you were so disappointed
to see me unravel so easily.
It?s only change
only everything I know
even the things
that seem still are still changing.
La da la da la da da da da da la da la da da la da da da
La da la da la da da da da da la da la da da la da da da
mother misses her baby
but I only wanted to be me
she changed address and haircuts
and boyfriends and light bulbs it's easy
but it?s only change
only everything I know
even the things
that seem still are still changing
La da la da la da da da da da la da la da da la da da da
La da la da la da da da da da la da la da da la da da da
I stay focused on details
it keeps me from feeling the big things
but watch the microscope long enough
things that seem still are still changing
La da la da la da da da da da la da la da da la da da da
La da la da la da da da da da la da la da da la da da da
even the things that seem still are still changing
even the things that seem still are still
even the things that seem still are still changing
even the things that seem still are still changing
La da la da la da da da da da la da la da da la da da da
La da la da la da da da da da la da la da da la da da da
