Dirty Imbecile Lyrics - The Happy Fits

Verse 1: 

If I'm so smart and I'm so pretty, 

Damn this town and damn this city. 

You never give me anything that I want. 

No one seems to really care. 

They're just wholly unaware 

Of all the blood and sweat I cry before dawn. 

Bridge: 

But you won't understand 

All the things that I am 

Cause' I'm crazy in just too many ways. 

But I get that little feel 

When my heart starts beating; lungs stop breathing; 

All my fibers say to run away. 

Chorus: 

Count my little scars, I've got dozens down inside 

I am complete and invincible, behind my dirty imbecile. 

All the things I've tried, boy: be cute, be dumb, be wise, be young. 

So don't tell me what to fear in the darkness in this atmosphere. 

Verse: 

Love my mum and love my daddy 

Sure they messed me up but that is 

Voices that they left inside of my head. 

Darling, dearest, don't you see 

I'm tough, I'm smart, I'm bourgeois? 

And I'll play out this lie until we're all dead. 

Bridge 

Chorus 

Counter-chorus: 

Am I good? Is all I could 

Enough for you? 

I'm so scared 

Of when and where 

I'll find the truth.
