''I am now the most miserable man living. If what I feel were equally distributed
to the whole human family, there would not be one smiling face on Earth.
(Abraham Lincoln, letter to John T. Stuart, January 1841)''
G Em C
Everything makes me nervous and nothing feels good for no reason
G Em C
Waking up, it's rarely worth it - the same dark dread every morning
G Em C
Senior year here in Mahwah, a new world just around the corner
G Em C
Leave me behind, let me stagnate, in a fortress of solitude
G Em C
Smoking's been okay so far, but I need something that works faster
G Em C D
So all I want for Christmas is no feelings, no feelings now and never again
G - Em - D - C
G Em
There is a faceplate all brown and red that stretches across my mouth
D C G
It's worn for protection, nobody gets in and nobody gets out.
G Em
I used to look myself in the mirror at the end of every day
D C G
But I took the one thing that made me beautiful and threw it away
G Em
I was a river, I was a tall tree, I was a volcano
D C G
But now I'm asleep on top of a mountain, I've been covered in snow
G Em
Yes, I have surrendered what made me human and all that I thought was true
D C G
So now there's a robot that lives in my brain and he tells me what to do
G Em
And I can do nothing without his permission or (which) wasn't part of the plan
D C G
So now in Rock Ridge pharmacy I will be waiting for my man
G Em
But there is another down in a dungeon who never gave up the fight
D C G
And he'll be forever screaming, sometimes I hear him say, on a quiet night, he says
G Em C
"You will always be a loser, you will always be a loser..." on and on and then ..
G Em C D
"You will always be a loser, you will always be a loser now...."
