Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone

Oh why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone



Oh why is the world filled with people

It makes for a painful life

You'll disappoint me if you don't disappoint me

Come and dance with the tip of my knife



Why is the night filled with laughter

At expense of the sickest of jokes

While the world is a blot and it's cistern's fill up

On the dross and the shit we call folks



Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone

Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone



Oh why is the world filled with the people

They snear and they snide and they moan

And the way I am now it seems I am one of them

Having grudges of my own



And why is this street a-crawling with cockroaches

Insects with two armstwo legs

Leaving their stink and their filth and their debris

I'll break all their faces like eggs



Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone

Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone



Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone

Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone



Oh why is the world filled with people

A-choking the air with their breath

Grunting like hogs in the sludge and the sewerage

Cringing from wonderful death

Oh why do my ears have to ring with their bantering

Bitching and ignorant words

Giving me aches with pathetic opinion

Peopleit's factare insufferable turds



Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone

Why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone



Oh why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone

Oh why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone



And I can't bear the little creeps

That tell me they hate my hair

They're always incredibly ugly

If they dropped dead tomorrow I wouldn't care

They feel that they have to comment

Have to put up with their penneth-worth

They're sickhypocriticalmincingunwitty

Not worth a spit in the dirt



They're not worth a spit in the dirt

They're not worth a spit in the dirt



Oh why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone

Oh why can't I be on my own

Just me and the world alone
