One, two, one, two, three, woo! I feel like an open sore I feel like I'm hitting my head against the wall And I'm tired I feel like a crisis of optimism I feel like a parody of myself And I'm tired of being tired Tired of being tired Tired of being tired Tired of being tired Tired of being tired Tired of being tired Tired of being tired Tired of being tired Tired of being tired Tired of being tired And I feel pain quotidian Over and over and over again I feel like a princess in a tower Counting down the minutes and the seconds and hours I feel like some art school hack Pissing on about this and that And I feel like my heart is for hire And I'm tired of being tired Hey Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) I feel like an open house In a neighborhood that burned down I feel like the bone that breaks Grows back stronger in that place I feel like an aneurysm Bursting in the television I feel the ghosts of my friends In New Paltz diners in my head I feel like the finest china High up on the tightrope wire I feel like a freedom fighter Choking on a pacifier I feel like my mom and dad I feel like I might be out of chances and I feel sick these days I feel so scared that Things may never change Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Tired of being tired (hey) Like Alan Turing When the needle went in As he thought on the Small-minded cruelty of man Like David Wojnarowicz Sewing his mouth Scared to open it up And let the cancer out Like Fred Herko With a Grand Jete So sick of this shit He tried to fly away Like Charles Ludlam As he died of AIDS As he thought of a script To a brand new play Like Ophelia In the willow tree When the branch broke And so did she Like Hedda Gabler In the other room With her friends at the party Going boom Like Iphigenia In her wedding dress As a horrible chorus Put a knife to her neck Like Blanche Dubois In her finest feathers 'Cause her nerves are shot And she'll never feel better Like a forest fire Like a crisis actor Like a 3D movie Like running forever Like a cocaine nose job Like a bull in the heather Like crying in baseball Like endless winter Like glorious summer Like Ro Cham Beau The feeling you feel When you're feeling alone Like a new forgiveness Brand new way I'm trapped on a laugh track Things will never change Never change 'Cause I'm tired of being tired Never change Things will never change I'm tired of being tired Hey
