The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I lost my membership card
To the human race
So don't forget the face
Because I know that I do belong here
Go down the checklist let's see:
Feelings are good
Dishonesty is bad
And keeping it inside is worse still
You want a problem
Well, I guess we got one now
I really don't know how
There's injuns over every goddamn hill
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it
What do you want me to say, yeah?
I see it coming
From a million miles away
What else can I say?
The only way you know I love you
And there's no eye-to-eye
Just moses on the mount
Or I'm in for the count
You need your man above or below you
I cannot cry at will
But I do wish I could
Cause it'd do you some good
When every joke I make is treason
There was a time
When you could make me laugh at will
And you can do it still
But never is it for the right reasons, yeah
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it
What do you want me to say?
What do you want me to do?
To let you know that I do mean it
What do you want me to say, yeah?
