Dirty Imbecile

If I’m so smart and I’m so pretty

Damn this town and damn this city

You never give me anything that I want

No one seems to really care

They're just wholly unaware

Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn

But you won’t understand

All the things that I am

Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways

But I get that little feel

When my heart starts beating; lungs stop breathing;

All my fibers say to run away

Count my little scars; I’ve got dozens down inside

I come complete and invincible behind my dirty imbecile

All these things I’ve tried, boy: Be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young

So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness of this atmosphere

Love my mum and love my daddy

Sure they messed me up but that is

Voices that they left inside of my head

Darling, dearest, don’t you see

I’m tough, I’m smart, I’m bourgeoisie?

And I’ll play out this lie until we’re all dead

But you won’t understand

All the things that I am

Cause' I’m crazy in just too many ways

But I get that little feel

When my heart starts beating; lungs stop breathing;

All my fibers say to run away

Count my little scars; I’ve got dozens down inside

I come complete and invincible behind my dirty imbecile

All these things I’ve tried, boy: Be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young

So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness of this atmosphere

Am I good? Is all I could enough for you?

I’m so scared of when and where I’ll find the truth

Am I good? Is all I could enough for you?

(Count my little scars; I’ve got dozens down inside

I come complete and invincible behind my dirty imbecile)

I’m so scared of when and where I’ll find the truth

So don’t tell me what to fear in the darkness of this atmosphere)

(Oh, ooh)

Oh

Oh, oh

(Oh, oh-oh-oh, I am—)

Oh

Oh, oh
