Sometimes I wonder if I should bother with myself
Sometimes I'm thinking I might need a little help
They say it's just a phase, a thing we all go through
Here in these final days, you're bound to feel blue
Don't take it home with you, just let it slide a while
Don't let it grow on you, it's really not your style
We're in the crosshairs and it feels a little strange
Don't take it to heart, it's nothing you can change
Some days I lock the door and keep the dogs inside
Some days I walk the floor, I tell you that I've tried
To keep a little sunshine pasted up above my head
To cool the rabble rousers down before it starts to spread
If you say you're sorry for all the things you've done
If you send in money and good wishes by the ton
You can have my sympathy, you can have my time
I'd love to help the mases but I need some kind of sign
You could call me a boundary tester
You might say I was an uptown jester
Everywhere I look it gets in
You can see it in the camera ceiling
It's a picture of the way I'm feeling
There's a madman under this skin
Don't let him in
I asked my congressman if help is on the way
He answered honestly, he said probably not today
Some kind of criminal's been gumming up the works
He's gone subliminal, you know that really hurts
Don't take it home with you, just let it slide a while
Don't let it grow on you, it's really not your style
We're in the crosshairs and it feels a little strange
Don't take it to heart, it's nothing you can change
You could call me a boundary tester
You might say I was an uptown jester
Everywhere I look it gets in
You can see it in the camera ceiling
It's a picture of the way I'm feeling
There's a madman under this skin
Don't let him in
