lyrics

hey, you're a riddle 
i say as i move aside (like i really need your advice)
but you won't leave it alone
little men try but don't get alot done
living in sin doesn't move me either way
i get a feeling you're so vague
like i said before, little men come when anything goes
when the rain comes i sit home and pray
make it all numb, i wish it all away
all i really need is just somewhere to hide away
kick him when he's down
here alone i'll put up and fight
kick him when he's down
beat me all the way i'll take it all night
kick him when he's down
hey don't worry i'll get along home alright
hey everybody's supposed to be the same
so how come they're so lame?
it's like taking a fall,
keep on running back into that wall
awake in a dream, get up and go to work
but i'm feeling like such a jerk
like i said before, little men come when anything goes
hey you're a riddle 
i say as i move aside (like i really need your advice)
but you won't leave it alone
little men try but don't get alot done
living in sin doesn't move me either way
i get a feeling you're so vague
like i said before little men come when anything goes
