Baby got his feelings hurt
                  
Singing that old standard
                                     
You can't break a rule that ain't been made
                                               
By chasing ponytails and mushroom clouds and black fields
                           
I don't want to feel this entertained

                                          
Sitting on a crowded coach, staring at the stereo
                                    
Watching all the hippies through the haze
                        
From gentle soul to sad and stoned
                    
No one wants to be alone
                                     
But you know you can't always get your way


                               
Tell me what you're going to do now
                                             
You get everything you wanted and you still feel down   x2

                       
Yeah, farmer, he's a sentient being
                
Sipping on his canteen
                             
Passes it to me, I can't say thanks

Poco
             
She steers clear of me
                     
Remembers all those bad scenes
                                 
If she'd just sit still, I could explain

                   
That every time I fucked her mind
                                
It's because I thought I was in love
                                      
And I woke up with that same thought today
                     
Well, so it goes, the ebb and flow
                    
Happiness was never us
                                   
If it's all free, why would you ever pay?


                               
Tell me what you're going to do now
                                             
You get everything you wanted and you still feel down x3
