Inner Peace Lyrics - Get Away From Me - 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

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 peace
