lyrics

If only things were so clear-cut,
He thinks they say just what they mean.
Can't mull it over for a while,
Someone turned down, broke off the dial
That reads inner monologue,
And he'll reply in time, but with no second thought
What does it mean?

He's got no sounding board, and don't ask why. ('cause he ain't got that chromosome)
He thinks there's - oh my lord- why would they lie? (sometimes Y can teach you things)

Been kicked around the world a while,
Well finally here is some relief.
Mind like a blackboard, they'll chalk up
Whatever they wanted to see:
A scapegoat, a prescription note,
He's identified, and denied, streets where he'll reside.

Chorus:
(sometimes Y don't mean a thing)
