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
