I BEG YOUR PARDON

HERE’S A SONG BY AN IDIOT

IT’S PROBABLY NOT EVEN READY YET

TAKE A LISTEN AND THEN FORGET IT ALL

SEEMS LIKE IT’S BEEN DONE BEFORE

I’M SORRY THAT IT’S SUCH A CHORE

I’M AMAZED THAT YOU HAVE THE WHEREWITHAL

HERE WE ARE IN THE CHORUS

SO EMOTIONAL

HERE TO HAUNT YOU SO

TELL ME HOW IT SOUNDS SO FAR

HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHERE YOU ARE?

OR IS THIS ALL JUST A BIT BIZZARE TO YOU?

I WONDER IF IT’S SINKING IN

THAT YOU SHOULD PROBABLY THINK AGAIN

BEFORE YOU STOP BY TO HEAR A SONG OR TWO

ONCE AGAIN THROUGH THE CHORUS

SO EMOTIONAL

RIGHT BEFORE THE SOLO

OH THANK GOD

WE’RE ALMOST TO THE END

AND NO I WON’T PLAY IT AGAIN

NOT FOR A LITTLE WHILE AT LEAST I HOPE

YES IT’S A SHAME THAT YOU HAD TO HEAR IT

SO LET ME DISAPPEAR

I’M SO SORRY FOR STRINGING YOU ALONG

TO THE IDIOT SONG

DAMN IT

I DON’T KNOW WHAT TO SAY

NOT LIKE IT MATTERS ANYWAY

NO ONE’S OUT THERE LISTENING TO A WORD I SING

I DO MY BEST TO RHYME

BUT I’M DOUBT THEY’D WASTE THEIR TIME

ON THIS CACOPHONY THAT SO PLAINLY

DOESN’T MEAN A SINGLE THING

YEAH THEY’D PROBABLY BE BORED

BY THE RHYTHM AND CHORDS

BUT LIKE I SAID

THERE’S NO ONE LISTENING

SO I’LL SIMPLY SAY

O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

THAT’S WHAT THE CHORUS IS

CIRCLING BACK TO VERSE

BUT I DON’T WANNA REPEAT THE WORDS

OR MAYBE JUST UNTIL I GET BACK

TO THAT POINTLESS REFRAIN

WHAT’S THIS NUMBER ALL ABOUT?

A STUPID ATTEMPT FOR ME TO SHOUT

A LYRIC ALONG A MELODY

THAT WAS TRAPPED IN MY BRAIN?

I SHOULD PROBABLY DESTROY

THIS DERIVATIVE NOISE

BUT LIKE I SAID

THERE’S NO ONE LISTENING

SO I’LL SIMPLY SAY

O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

IT’S PROBABLY GETTING OLD

GETTING OLD

GETTING OLD

GETTING OLD

GETTING OLD

GETTING OLD

GETTING OLD

GETTING OLD

GETTING OLD

GUESS I’LL GO THROUGH IT ALL AGAIN

A LITTLE REPRISE BEFORE THE END

I REALLY CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I HAVE MADE IT THIS FAR

IT SEEMS ABSURD TO WRITE A SONG

WITH EVERYTHING THAT IS GOING ON

I’LL MAKE IT THROUGH THE CHORUS

THEN I’LL SAY AU REVOIR

YEAH THE WORDS HAVE BECOME

NARCISSISTIC AND DUMB

I KNOW THEY’RE MEANINGLESS

BUT I CAN ONLY SEEM TO SAY

O 

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY O HEY ODELAY O

HEY ODELAY ODELAY O 

NOW I SHOULD PROBABLY GO

I BEG YOUR PARDON

IF THE POINT OF THIS SONG

WAS SIMPLY ILL-CONCEIVED

I WAS DOING MY BEST TO FIGURE OUT

HOW TO SAY SOMETHING THAT I BELIEVED

BUT WHO THE HELL AM I TO SING

ALL THE LYRICS THAT ARE IN THIS SONG?

ALTHOUGH I TRIED TO GET THEM RIGHT

IT’S MORE LIKELY THAT I GOT THEM WRONG

BUT WHEN THE MUSIC IS IN MY HEAD

IT NEVER SEEMS TO LET ME REST

I WANT TO CAPTURE IT

EVEN THOUGH THE OUTCOME

MIGHT BE FULL OF SHIT

I’M TIRED OF RACKING MY BRAIN

TRYING TO FIND THE PERFECT WORDS TO SING

AND SO TO KEEP MYSELF SANE

I WON’T SING ABOUT ANYTHING

OH GOD DAMN IT DUSTIN

CAN’T YOU MUSTER ANY MORE THAN THIS?

IT’S PLAIN TO SEE THAT I’M IN NEED

OF A DRASTIC METAMORPHOSIS

AND WHEN

THIS IDIOSYNCRASY

FOR THE RHYTHM AND THE MELODY

BUILDS ANXIETY

I PROMISE I WON’T LET IT

GET THE BEST OF ME

IF YOU’RE STILL WITH ME

THANKS FOR LISTENING FRIENDS

BUT IT’S TIME TO SEND THIS SONG INTO OBLIVION

CHANGE IT INTO SOMETHING I CAN UNDERSTAND

YOU’VE COME THIS FAR

SHALL I TAKE YOU TO THE END?

THANK YOU

GOODNIGHT

THE END
