Lyrics
Main Offender
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'm on my way, can't settle down
I'm stuck in ways of being an ass and I got a lot of nerve that I'm ready to pass
I'm on my way, can't settle down
I'm stuck in ways of sadistic joy and my talent only goes as faras to annoy
I'm on my way
This is my main offender
This is what I've got and it got me saying: Why me?
I'm on my way, I get around
But I'm not all too sure about what I do
I feel I've got to stop a second just to think it thru
And so I stop!
I'm on my way
Yeah I get around
Yeah I thought it all over and now I spit it out
And when I spit I spit on those that I care less about
I'm on my way
This is my main offender
This is what I've got and it got me saying: Why me?
