Lyrics
1-2-3
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.
You don't know if I'm a jerk
And you don't care if I go to work
As long as I keep marching down
Up and down your great grounds
What's the use of saying what you mean?
Just wash yourself and keep your body clean
I know I got a dirty face
I know I'm looking out of place
I know I got up missing my shoes
What am I suppose to do?
That's 1; I'm on the run
That's 2; I don't know what I've done
That's 3; you're telling me I'm still a baby
What am I doing standing here,
Training to be a brigadier?
You're telling me to be a man
Why can't you just understand?
What's the use in saying what you mean?
Just wash yourself and keep your body clean
I know I got a dirty face
I know I'm looking out of place
I know I got up missing my shoes
What am I suppose to do?
That's 1; I'm on the run
That's 2; I don't know what I've done
That's 3; you're telling me I'm still a baby
That's 1; I'm on the run
That's 2; I don't know what I've done
That's 3; you're telling me I'm still a baby
A baby, a baby, a baby
That's 1; I'm on the run
That's 2; I don't know what I've done
That's 3; you're telling me I'm still a baby
That's 1; I'm on the run
That's 2; I don't know what I've done
That's 3; you're telling me I'm still a baby
A baby, a baby, a baby
