Inner Peace
Nellie McKay
In high school it was cool to say You look funny You're a retard dummy A retarded dummy Yeah you suck out of luck You're no Playboy bunny Hee hee So you laugh, it's a gas They're right on the money They're just being funny, hysterically funny Yeah i'm stupid it's true Now can we be chummy? Maybe But then it hits you, then it kicks you Then you realize you're not unique And you ignore it, you implore it Just to let you turn the other cheek Don't wanna think about the schools in Bosnia Don't wanna sing about food in Somalia I don't need this, I don't see this All I want is inner peace Graduate but too late College will just hurt you Soon they'll all desert you Get your just desserts you All essays MLA format they'll convert you Could they? So you try it's like pie Get just more alert you They'll not try to hurt you Only you can hurt you So you say, so you play They would not subvert you Would they? But then it hits you, then it kicks you Then you realize you're not unique And you ignore it, you implore it Just to let you get on through the week Don't wanna think about the new armed forces Don't wanna sing about no carriage horses I don't need this, I don't see this All I want is inner peace You pretend it's the end Ah yes I'm all grown now Uh-huh I'm at home now Fool, you're never home now Even this laugh'll pass Go answer your phone now You'll see See I told you you're old Now you're all alone now Look ma how I've grown now Ain't you proud I'm grown now Look this head is all dead See how much you've done now You pussy But then it hits you, then it kicks you Then you realize you're not unique And you ignore it, you implore it Just to let you find the "om" you seek Don't wanna think about the fall elections Don't wanna sing about no vivisection I don't need this, I don't see this All I want is inner peace Inner peaceangry cabaret cold winter day crazy favorites female girls megs my life Nellie McKay novelty personal truth piano Pure Awesome singer-songwriter
