'Cause I can't take another sales pitch
 You don't wanna be the last one
 Who's no fun
 The one that's always left behind
 I know it's hard
 To see clearly all of the time
 So go do what you want
 And I'll try hard to be more understanding

 But I don't want to live like that
 Under your thumb  behind your back
 I just wanna be there to see the last laugh

 I'll try killing you with kindness
 Forget the mindless things I might've said
 And I won't try to catch you or stop you
 From doing what you think is right
 I'll look the other way
 Maybe I was wrong this one time
 It's got to be hard
 When the rest of the world's gone crazy around you

 But I don't want to live like that
 Under your thumb, behind your back
 I just wanna be there to see the last laugh

 Back and forth you swing
 From routine to obscene
 And I know that you're just like me
 And that's exactly what I like about you
 I guess I'm probably insane
 Two by four is what I'd use to smack you upside your head
 'Cause you drive me crazy

 So don't keep singing me your sad song
 It's been so long
 Since I've gotten through
 And I'm not gonna be the last one
 Who's no fun
 The one that's always left behind
 Don't get me wrong
 When I don't tell you what you wanna hear
 And go do what you wnat
 And I'll try hard to be more understanding

 But I don't want to live like that
 Under your thumb, behind your back
 I just wanna be there to see the last laugh
