Lyrics
Mr. Carbohydrate
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.
They call me Mr Carbohydrate
It's the only thing I can digest
Xenophobia or general disinterest
I must catch up with all this stuff
They call me a boring fuckhead
Say I might as well work in a bank
I tell them I wish I was
They tell me that I'm sick in the head
They say that I'm sick in my head
They call me Mr Carbohydrate
They call me Mr Inadequate
They call me Mr Paranoia
They call me Mr Hypochondria
Have you heard of Matthew Maynard
He's my favourite cricketer
I would rather watch him play
Than pick up my guitar
Than play with my guitar
People tell me that I should get out more
But the TV is my best friend
Cynicism is the only thing that keeps me sane
The only thing that keeps me sane
They call me Mr Carbohydrate
They call me Mr Inadequate
They call me Mr Paranoia
They call me Mr Hypochondria
Sometimes I just stay in bed
And think about the day
When I can retire
Forgetting everything
I'll forget everything
Forget everything
Forever but not today
When I cannot, cannot say
No more yesterdays
No more yesterdays
