about
In this track, a tortured individual seems convinced that the world is the problem, whereas in fact, as we know from extensive meditation in the midst of a busy life, the world is the solution.
lyrics
Help me get out of this nightmare body,
I don't care if I'm a boy or girl.
Help me get off of this roller coaster,
Anywhere else that I can sit is fine.
I'm confused about more than power,
I am doomed 'til I find a place.
So help me get out of this gendered funeral.
Let me sit behind a wall and wait.
Give me permission to start a fire,
I won't burn until you say I can.
But I would like some kind of independence
And a brain.
Help me to figure out what kind of person
I can be without engendering hate,
'Cause when I wear a tie I hate myself,
But when I wear a skirt I hate myself.
Didn't want to be the one to tell you.
Everybody here has money on you.
Help me get out of this nightmare body,
I don't care. I don't care.
Help me get off of this roller coaster, anywhere.
I'm confused about more than power,
I am doomed 'til I find a place,
So help me get out of this gendered funeral.
Let me wait.
I don't care if I'm a boy or girl.
Help me get off of this roller coaster,
Anywhere else that I can sit is fine.
I'm confused about more than power,
I am doomed 'til I find a place.
So help me get out of this gendered funeral.
Let me sit behind a wall and wait.
Give me permission to start a fire,
I won't burn until you say I can.
But I would like some kind of independence
And a brain.
Help me to figure out what kind of person
I can be without engendering hate,
'Cause when I wear a tie I hate myself,
But when I wear a skirt I hate myself.
Didn't want to be the one to tell you.
Everybody here has money on you.
Help me get out of this nightmare body,
I don't care. I don't care.
Help me get off of this roller coaster, anywhere.
I'm confused about more than power,
I am doomed 'til I find a place,
So help me get out of this gendered funeral.
Let me wait.
