i got something inside my head and it's got to come out
i won't whisper i won't sit still
i wanna scream and shout
i got so much fucking energy
to jump around like a jumping bean
but never mind what i say or do
'cause i got nothing to do with you

i know you gotta be obtuse sometimes
you gotta be obtuse to be kind

i got something inside my heart that i feel is true
contents of fifty matches that i light for you
see a burning fire so bright
see a fire burning in the night
in the end i'm gonna die
so why not make the most of my life

i know you gotta be obtuse sometimes
you gotta be obtuse to be kind (x2)

i know you gotta be obtuse sometimes
you gotta be obtuse to be kind (x3)
gotta be (x6)
