lyrics

I feel like a walking punchline
Go ahead and laugh if it makes you feel good
But I’m invisible most of the time
When it's not that I just feel misunderstood

When the people who stomp me into the ground
Are adored for their exquisite lack of decency
After I’ve eaten all the chocolate in the house
I will accept this karmic inaccuracy

With grace and poise
Ignore the noise
Of them applauding while my self-esteem just circles the drain
Grace and poise
Girls and boys
Behold what happens if you ever dare to go your own way

I’ll be your doormat, make yourself at home
Beer’s in the fridge, my self-worth’s on the floor
Bring all your friends even though I know
The knife’s in the back before you’re through the door

When they come over and stomp me into the ground
And are praised for their blatant lack of decency
And they’ve destroyed what remains of the house
I’ll accept this karmic inaccuracy

With grace and poise
Ignore the noise
Of them applauding while my self-esteem just circles the drain
Grace and poise
Girls and boys
Behold what happens if you ever dare to go your own way

When they come over and stomp me into the ground
Are praised for their exquisite lack of decency
After I’ve burned down what remains of this house
I’ll accept this karmic in accuracy

With grace and poise
Ignore the noise
Of them applauding while my self-esteem just circles the drain
Grace and poise
Girls and boys
Behold what happens if you ever dare to go your own way
