lyrics

I'm capsizing into
The river of shit again
I ate too much pain
And I got fat
You held the rope above my head
And tied a noose for me
If I could just get my head right
Then someday I'll be free
You, you told me
That you would walk through fire for me
But somehow I wound up
The one who got burned
You held the rope above my head
And tied a noose for me
If I could just get my head right
Then someday I'll be free

Cockroach California
And now the lights are coming on
We left our dinner sitting out all night
I want to be the grease that gathers
At the bottom of your McDonald's bag
I'll be the Homer to your Marge
And the Zig to your Zag

I'm capsizing into
The river of shit again
I ate too much pain
And I got fat
You held the rope above my head
And tied a noose for me
If I could just get my head right
Then someday I'll be free
You, you told me
That you would walk through fire for me
But somehow I wound up
The one who got burned
You held the rope above my head
And tied a noose for me
If I could just get my head right
Then someday I'll be free
Yes, I'll be free
