Why do I deny
All that's accepted true?
Why can't I live my life
Like I'm expected to?
Get a college degree, buy a color TV?
Oh, what's exactly the matter with me?
I believe no one's conclusions
I think for myself
I take nothing for granted
My brain ain't on the shelf
I've got my views
Though I may sound confused
Oh, what's exactly the matter with me?
Why can't I settle down
In one little place?
Find me a girl
And get out of this race?
But, my boots they start itching
My eyes they start looking
Oh, what's exactly the matter with me?
Why can't I march
When the cause is just?
Stamp out oppression
Greed and lust?
Oh, inferiority, insecurity
Yeah, that's exactly the matter with me
Why do I "yes" people
That I despise?
Why can't I say "I hate you"
Right to your eyes?
Oh, inferiority, pent up hostility
Yeah, that's exactly the matter with me
That's exactly the matter with me
