everybody's teasing about the thing's I do
never make you happy
they only look at you
most of them are jerks
they try to bring me down
they'd kick you down in a hole so deep
you won't come out

everybody's talking
about the clothes I wear
why I'm so frustrated
right now I don't really care
and still I wonder
when they try to bring me down
I don't know why

and I want to know why
those people stop and stare
why they bring me down
when they just don't really care
why

everybody's laughing
about the way I move
why I'm so frustrated
why I'm not just like you
let me tell you people
who've all been so unkind
this man he ain't gonna bend down
for all your fucking lies

and I want to know why
those people stop and stare
why they bring me down
when they just don't really care
why oh lonesome why

and still I wonder
why I always do the things I do
