Without a doubt I've taken all you can give And now I suffer through this song Feel free to hum along Going back a few short years I can see That I was never really here As I collect the facts and sort them in rows It seems the question's always been How long can I keep this going? You can use it against me In your saddest state of mind Use it against me With my ego on the line Use it against me anytime I try to simplify the plot to an outline But I can never make the end I want to read some lines that stray from the screenplay Improvisation's never been Something I can keep going I've never preached a single word That doesn't sound a bit absurd I don't know how to pound it in To make it stick under my skin
