All my life trouble follows me like a mystery girl
And I’ve been chasing round a memory like a mystery girl
I’ve been getting lost searching my soul all around this town
I took a wrong turn in growing up and it’s freaking me out

Back at school it never made much sense
Now I pay but I can pay attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
Too dumb to die, guess, but that’s the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

Sex, drugs & violence
English, math & science,
Safety in numbers
Give me, give me danger

Well I don't wanna be an imbecile
But Jesus made me that way

All my life I’ve been running wild like a runaway
Where did that magic mean like a subway
Back at home it never made much sense
Now I pay but I can pay attention
Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life
Too dumb to die, guess, but that’s the way it goes
Sometimes I must regress to

Sex, drugs & violence
