I've had my mid-life crisis by the age of twenty five

You say my head ain't right. I'm tired of myself but don't know why

I'm dirt under your thumb, not pretty enough to play dumb

I don't need you no more

Wake up love you got me so bored

Please understand I'm not giving up but I won't change to get you off.

Don't you dare compare me to poster-boys too thick to see the truth

Hard luck, it's not like I give a fuck, I'd rather you despise my every move

I'm dirt under your thumb, not pretty enough to play dumb

I don't need you no more

Wake up love you got me so bored

Please understand I'm not giving up but I won't change to get you off

Maybe I've been your scum but I don't need you no more

I'm waking up dumb, you got me so bored

Please understand I'm not giving up but I can't change to get you off

I'm dirt under your thumb. I refuse to play dumb

Please understand I'm not giving up but I won't change to get you off
