Why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world aloneOh why is the world filled with people
It makes for a painful life
You'll disappoint me if you don't disappoint me
Come and dance with the tip of my knifeWhy is the night filled with laughter
At expense of the sickest of jokes
While the world is a blot and it's cistern's fill up
On the dross and the shit we call folksWhy can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world aloneOh why is the world filled with the people
They snear and they snide and they moan
And the way I am now it seems I am one of them
Having grudges of my ownAnd why is this street a-crawling with cockroaches
Insects with two arms, two legs
Leaving their stink and their filth and their debris
I'll break all their faces like eggsWhy can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world aloneWhy can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world aloneOh why is the world filled with people
A-choking the air with their breath
Grunting like hogs in the sludge and the sewerage
Cringing from wonderful death
Oh why do my ears have to ring with their bantering
Bitching and ignorant words
Giving me aches with pathetic opinion
People, it's fact, are insufferable turdsWhy can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world aloneOh why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world aloneAnd I can't bear the little creeps
That tell me they hate my hair
They're always incredibly ugly
If they dropped dead tomorrow I wouldn't care
They feel that they have to comment
Have to put up with their penneth-worth
They're sick, hypocritical, mincing, unwitty
Not worth a spit in the dirtThey're not worth a spit in the dirt
They're not worth a spit in the dirtOh why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
Oh why can't I be on my own
Just me and the world alone
