about

This is a song about the world breaking you down even though you know you want to love- it's just too hard sometimes

lyrics

I 'M SORRY BABY, SOME TIMES I GET KIND OF RUN DOWN
I'M SORRY IF I KIND OF ACT SIDEWAYS TOWARDS YOU
THAT'S NO FAULT OF YOURS

I SEE YOUR TWITCHES AND I SMELL YOUR ANGELS
I SEE THE WAY THAT YOU LOOK SIDEWAYS SOMETIMES
SOMETIMES, SOMETIMES - WHEN WE WAKE UP

TELL ME EVERYTHING THAT YOU HATED
I GOT EARWAX THAT WILL BUILD UP TO A PILE THAT IS
FOUR INCHES HIGH
THAT'S TWO POUNDS, EIGHT OUNCES

I'M SORRY YOU CAN'T STAND ME BUT I DON'T TRY TO HATE YOU
BUT IM NOT GONNA LOOK BEHIND EVERY TIME YOU WHINE OH, MY ARMS GETTING TIRED

LOOK AT US AT WORK WE GET NIBBLED AWAY
EVERYBODY LOVES CHEESE BUT NOBODY WANTS TO PAY
OH NO NO there are no free samples

IN THIS CHEESE GRATER WORLD!
It’s a Cheese Grater World
It’ll Gnaw you right down - Right down Right down
Until you Scrape your knuckles

LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT THIS CRAZY QUESSADILLA
IT's MUCH MORE BETTER IF YOU NEVER GET THE IDEA TO OPEN IT UP
AND HAVE TO STARE TO THOSE TOMATOES

IS IT GENETICS? - IS IT PERSONAL HISTORY ?
OR A FALSE SENSE OF RESPONSIBILITY TO WHAT GOD KNOWS
WHY SO MUCH DO WE KNOW?

WELL I GUESS IT'S A PRETTY OLD STORY
THE WAY ONE LOOKS AT THE MIRROR AND STARTS TO WORRY OH NO
HAVE I GOTTEN TOO OLD?

I'M SORRY YOU CAN'T STAND ME BUT I DON'T TRY TO HATE YOU
BUT IM NOT GONNA LOOK BEHIND EVERY TIME YOU WHINE YOU WHINE
MY ARMS GETTING TIRED
BECAUSE I TRUST TOO MUCH - FURTHER THAN A MONKEE
I TRUST YOUR BELLY AND YOUR SENSITIVE BRAIN
I GOT THAT SMELL IN MY TUMMY -

AND IF I SPILLED ALL THE BLOODY APPLE JELLY
WOULD YOU SNEER AND WOULD YOU TRY AND SMACK MY BRAIN?
WOULD YOU TAKE IT ALL FROM ME ?
BECAUSE YOUR MOTHER HAS TOO MANY TEETH
BECAUSE SHE’S SO DASHING AND SO DARN SWEET
AT FAMILY FUNCTIONS
I LIKE HER SPUNK AND HER GUMPTION
I TOTALLY GET IT - I TOTALLY GET IT - I TOTALLY KNOW YOU
I TOTALLY GET IT - I TOTALLY GET IT - I TOTALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND
WHY WHY WHY WHY
IT'S A CHEESE GRATER WORLD
