Lyrics
All my life, trouble follows me like a mystery girl I've been chasing round a memory like a mystery girl I've been getting lost searching my soul all around this town I took a wrong turn at growing up, and it's freaking me out Back at school, it never made much sense And now I pay, but I can't pay attention Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life Too dumb to die, I guess, but that's the way it goes Sometimes, I must regress to Sex, drugs, and violence English, math, and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger Well, I don't wanna be an imbecile But Jesus made me that way All my life I've been running wild like a runaway Wherever the night takes me, like a stowaway Back at home, it never made much sense Now I pay, but I can't pay attention Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life Too dumb to die, I guess, but that's the way it goes Sometimes, I must regress to Sex, drugs, and violence English, math, and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger, hey! Back at home, it never made much sense And I can pay, but I can't pay attention Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life Too dumb to die, I guess, but that's the way it goes Sometimes I must regress to Sex, drugs, and violence English, math, and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger Sex, drugs, and violence English, math, and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger Sex, drugs, and violence English, math, and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger
