Hey man did you see that girl I'm so impressed
with the style of her hair and the cut of that dress
with the people she greets and the ones at her feet
she must be some sort of queen
I'm convinced you know that there's different kinds of storks
one for you and one for those that use the right fork
I guess I'll always be a little out of sorts...
poor poor me
Oh oh that's how it goes
from the top of Mt. Everest
they're looking down their nose
about 5 out of 10
guess I'll always be the victim
fuck them and the horse they road in on
Doctors said I'd never amount to much
didn't have the right pedigree my parents were out to lunch
never could pack that 1, 2 punch
poor me
If I had any brains I would've gone to college
got deeper in debt and filled my head full of knowledge
should've done what I was told
and taken out the garbage
poor poor me
Oh oh that's how it goes
from the top of Mt. Everest
they're looking down their nose
about 5 out of 10
guess I'll always be the victim
fuck them and the horse they road in on
Bridge
Maybe I just didn't work hard enough
didn't know the right people
didn't steal the right stuff
followed the rules I was lazy at school
could have avoided ending up in this rut
Should of sent my money to a foreign nation
like the Cayman Islands for an extended vacation
maybe I wouldn't be in this horrible situation
poor poor me
