Lyrics

You hiss and groan
And you constantly moan
But you don't ever go away
And that's because all you need is me

You roll your eyes
Up to the skies
Mock horrified - but you're still here
All you need is me

There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me

You bang your head against the wall
And say you're sick of it all
Yet you remain
'Cause all you need is me

And then you offer your one-and-only joke
And you ask me what will I be
When I grow up to be a man
Me? Nothing!

There's a soft voice singing in your head
Who can this be?
I do believe it's me
There's a naked man standing laughing in your dreams
You know who it is
But you don't like what it means

There's so much destruction
All over the world
And all you can do is
Complain about me

I was a small fat child in a welfare house,
There was only one thing I ever dreamed about
And fate has just handed it to me
Whoopee!

You don't like me but you love me
Either way, you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone

You don't like me but you love me
Either way, you're wrong
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
You're gonna miss me when I'm gone
