Dark days are over now
You finally got it figured out, don't ya
Just when the goin' gets tough
You get outta town.
When the goin gets tough
You just call it a bust
And hit rewind.
Sing the same damn tune again,
You just watch yourself in slow motion
As you put your hand on the fire,
You know it's gonna hurt
But you do it anyway
Just like you listen to all the stupid
Things you know you shouldn't say,
But you say them anyway
Cause it's just the way you are
Like it or not you're a fool and a clown
And your never gonna change
Just the way you are like it or not
Stop pretending to be something else
And let yourself be strange.
You're gonna meditate,
Levitate not masturbate
You gonna start with a clean slate
You gonna celebrate sobriety with a drink
Just to prove nothing's got a hold on you
Then you give your self up to love
Give yourself up to drugs
Give yourself up for a day or two
Give yourself up to anything
To keep from facing the truth
But you're scared.
It's just the way you are
Like it or not
You're a fool and a clown
And your never gonna change
That's the way you are
Like it or not
Stop pretending to be something else
Let yourself be strange, strange
Why does everybody wanna be
Just like everybody else?
How come no one's ever satisfied
To just be them selves?
When realize the things that you despise
Thing gonna do til the day I die anyway
Why don't you give yourself a break
Then one day it comes to you
Like a lightening bolt
Coming outta the blue
No one else really loves you for you
Just the way you are,
Like it of not your a clown.
