In high school it was cool to say
You look funny, you're a retard dummy
A retarded dummy, yeah, you suck out of luck
You're no Playboy bunnyHe he, so you laugh, it's a gas
They're right on the money, they're just being funny
Hysterically funny, yeah I'm stupid, it's true
Now, can we be chummy? MaybeBut then it hits you then it kicks you
Then you realize you're not unique
And you ignore it, you implore it
Just to let you turn the other cheekDon't wanna think about the schools in Bosnia
Don't wanna sing about food in Somalia
I don't need this, I don't see this
All I want is inner peaceGraduate but too late, college will just hurt you
Soon they'll all desert you, get your just desserts you
All essays MLA format they'll convert you
Could they?So you try, it's like pie, get just more alert you
They'll not try to hurt you, only you can hurt you
So you say, so you play, they would not subvert you
Would they?But then it hits you, then it kicks you
Then you realize you're not unique
And you ignore it, you implore it
Just to let you get on through the weekDon't wanna think about the new armed forces
Don't wanna sing about no carriage horses
I don't need this, I don't see this
All I want is inner peaceYou pretend it's the end
Ah yes, I'm all grown now
Uh huh, I'm at home now
Fool, you're never home nowEven this laugh'll pass
Go answer your phone now
You'll see, see I told you you're old
Now, you're all alone nowLook Ma, how I've grown now
Ain't you proud I'm grown now
Look this head is all dead
See how much you've done now, you pussyBut then it hits you, then it kicks you
Then you realize you're not unique
And you ignore it, you implore it
Just to let you find the 'Om' you seekDon't wanna think about the fall elections
Don't wanna sing about no vivisection
I don't need this, I don't see this
All I want is inner peace, inner peace
