you put yourself in stupid places

yes i think you know it's true

situations where it's easy to look down on you

i think you like to be the victim

i think you like to be in pain

i think you make yourself a victim

almost every single day



you do what you do

you say what you say

you try to be everything to everyone

you know all the right people

you play all the right games

you always try to be

everything to everyone



yeah you do it again

you always do it again



you say they taught you how to read and write

they taught you how to count

i say they taught you how to buy and sell

your own body by the pound

i think you like to be their simple toy

i think you love to play the clown

i think you blind to the fact

that the hand you hold

is the hand that holds you down



chorus



spin around and fall down

do it again

you stumble and you fall

yeah why don't you ever learn

spin around and fall down

do it again

you stumble and you fall

i wonder if you will ever learn



why don't you ever learn



come on now

do that stupid dance for me



you do what they tell you to do

you say what they say

you try to be

everything to everyone



you jump through the big hoop

you play all the right games

you try to be

everything to everyone



spin around and fall down

do it again

you stumble and you fall

yeah you do it again

spin around and fall down

do it again

you stumble and you fall...
