Lyrics


Intro: Riff 1 x 2


Riff 2
I am angry I am I'll and I'm as ugly as sin

Riff 2
My irritability keeps me alive and kicking

Riff 2                                              Riff 3
I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit

Riff 2
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it


Chorus

Riff 4
This is a song from under the floorboards

Riff 4
This is a song from where the wall is cracked

Riff 4
By force of habit, I am an insect

Riff 4
I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact


Verse

Riff 2
I know the highest and the best

Riff 2
I accord them all due respect

Riff 2                              Riff 3
But the brightest jewel inside of me

Riff 2
Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity


Bridge: Riff 5 + Riff 1
