And I've gone half deaf in one ear 
And I'm bleeding out the other 
I don't know where to go 
Unless some one tells me what to do 

I feel like I can't get this one thing off my chest 
I've been told to keep a secret 
What cannot be laid to rest 

Turn away from the weak 
and be sure to look toward the light 
Say something meaningful 
But don't make it sound too trite! 

Put the movie on side one 
Sit back and have some fun 
You might think that I'm a joker 
But I'm not the only one 

These are social graces like hello and good bye 
But we're busting at the seams 
To gossip and tell lies 
Everyone's an actor and everyone's your friend 
Looking out for your best interest 
To [bad word] you in the end 

It's only a matter of time 
before they get to you somehow 
and they'll give some good reason 
why you should stay home and rest 

If you don't do [bad word] and [bad word] 
then what good are you to me? 
Just go back to where you came from 
You're no good to us around here 

Please don't try to make this seem 
like something that it's not 

Put the movie on side two 
I have nothing left to do 
You may think that I'm a joker 
But I'm really just a fool
