Lyrics

Turn the ugly light off god
Wanna feel the night
Everyday it shines down on me
Don't you think that I see
Don't you think that I see what it's all about

Hard to look the other way
While the world passes me by
And everyone is trying to bum me out

It's a pretty big world god
And I am awful small
Everyday they rain down on me
Flower in a hailstorm
Flower in a hailstorm
I'm living for the drought
I could throw it back at them
But then I play their game
Everyone is trying to bum me out

When I came into this world they slapped me
And everyday since then I'm slapped again
Tomorrow's king: an unsightly coward
You see, I know I'm gonna win

Turn the ugly light off god
Don't wanna see my face
Everyday it will betray me
Don't you think that I know
Don't you think that I know what they're talking about
If they step on me tonight
They're gonna pay someday
Everyone is trying to bum me out
