Am I sad
Not sad enough really 
Am I mad 
Not mad enough clearly 
Am I 
Complacent 
Completely 
Lacking in sincerity 
Yes indeed I am
Am I tough 
Not tough enough really 
Am I rough 
Not rough enough nearly 
Am I lying here 
On the ground 
Watching you get pushed around 
Yes indeed I am 
Really 
I don't know why 
I'm such a wimp 
I realize 
I'm just your pimp 
But what can I do 
What can I do 

Am I small 
Not small enough really 
I feel lame and cirumspect 
I feel your pain and yet 
I feel sympathy 
Empathy 
It's just that I'm super busy right now 
Really 

I don't know why 
I'm such a shit 
I realize
This doesn't help a bit 
But what can I do 
What can I do 

Am I bad 
Not bad enough really 
I feel angry and upset 
I could write you a small check 
Look I wish you luck 
And here's you're buck 
It's just that I'm a yuppie fuck 
Yes indeed I am 
Really
