I've got a thorn in my side

About the size of your eye

I feel it sticking through

I feel it sticking through



You're all watching for me

With such intensity

It doesn't matter what I do

It doesn't matter what I do



Take your eyes off me

Maybe then you'll see

The world was sticking at you

The world was watching you



You're just a thorn in my side

Wasting effort, wasting time

It doesn't matter what I do

It doesn't matter what I do

It doesn't matter what I do

Your world is dying too



(Well, my baby left me

Well, my baby left me

Yeah, she ran

That's right, she ran

Well, I got all the time in the stinking world

And a shotgun in my hand)
