<poem>I don't wanna deal with overpasses | |||
Everyone agrees there's too much traffic | |||
Tell the people they should use their golf carts | |||
I feel like my life is never gonna start | |||
I don't wanna deal with tasteless food | |||
It's the '90s so we oughta' get some attitude | |||
I was in Japan when the earthquake struck | |||
It felt like Jehovah was mad as fuck | |||
Drag my Birkenstocks along the ground | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
I used to got a girl but she let me down | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
I turn my music up a bit too loud | |||
It's not enough to just hear the sound | |||
I wanna see it all come crumbling down | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
Don't wanna deal with 3-piece-suiters | |||
Telling me that I should get a job at Hooters | |||
What do these people know about expression? | |||
Let me give you all an introductory lesson | |||
I'm buying records at the shopping mall | |||
Picking my shirt with the ??? | |||
That's what I love about the modern world | |||
Everybody gets a chance to be absurd | |||
Drag my Birkenstocks along the ground | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
I used to got a girl but she let me down | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
I turn my music up a bit too loud | |||
But that's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
I wanna see it all come crumbling down | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
I don't wanna deal with expectations | |||
Just as good hanging at the railroad station | |||
Sitting on a mushroom underneath the tree | |||
Why does everybody gotta pick on me? | |||
Pretty girls still knock me out | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
I drag my feet when I walk around | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
I crank my tunes so I can feel the sound | |||
It's not enough to just mess around | |||
Gonna be the best and burn them down | |||
That's why they call me Charlie Brown | |||
