[Verse 1]

Hanging off a chair and I'm feeling a little numb

Cherry gum, chew it like the night is still young

There's a guy in the corner who won't stop sucking his thumb

And the floor is sticky, I thought this was supposed to be fun?

I got these long fuck you nails on from last night

And I can't believe I came home with all nine

And I can't believe, I can't believe it every time

Oh my God is this it? (This can't be it)


[Pre-Chorus]

Someday I'll water my plants and iron my clothes

And everything in my house will have a special place where it goes

I wanna grow up but I've already grown out of it

They can call it Heaven but I don't like the sound of it


[Chorus]

The less I'm like them the more I like me

I'll paint my life like a masterpiece

Little high, little low

I'm happy all though

I'm no Bohemian Rhapsody, ya

No-ah-no, oh-oh-ah, no-ah-no

The less I'm like them the more I like me

I'm no Bohemian Rhapsody, ya


[Verse 2]

Wanna move on but I keep on ricocheting

I think a little bigger than the [?]

Where my neighbour bitches about her next door neighbour

Where they say ("I like your skirt") to laugh about it later

But I know what I want and baby I'll claw my way in

You went loose, you some some, I'll still be entertaining

Please don't get me wrong this isn't finger painting

I'm focused on the magnum opus that I'm creating


[Pre-Chorus]

Someday I'll water my plants and iron my clothes

And everything in my house will have a special place where it goes

I wanna grow up but I've already grown out of it

They can call it Heaven but I don't like the sound of it


[Chorus]

The less I'm like them the more I like me

I'll paint my life like a masterpiece

Little high, little low

I'm happy all though

I'm no Bohemian Rhapsody, ya

No-ah-no, oh-oh-ah, no-ah-no

The less I'm like them the more I like me

I'm no Bohemian Rhapsody, ya


[Outro]

I got these nails on from last night

And I can't believe I came home with all nine

And I can't believe, I can't believe it every time

Oh my God this can't be it
