[Intro] D G 3x [Verse 1] Why do I deny all that’s accepted true? Why can’t I live my life like I’m expected to? Get a college degree buy a color TV? Oh what’s exactly the matter with me? [Verse 2] I believe no one’s conclusions I think for myself I take nothing for granted my brain ain’t on the shelf I’ve got my views though I may sound confused Oh what’s exactly the matter with me? [Verse 3] Why can’t I settle down in one little place? Find me a girl and get out of this race? But my boots start itching my eyes start looking Oh what’s exactly the matter with me? [Verse 4] Why can’t I march when the cause is just? Stamp out oppression greed and lust? Oh inferiority insecurity Yeah that’s exactly the matter with me [Verse 5] Why do I "yes" people that I despise? Why can’t I say "I hate you" right to your eyes? Oh inferiority pent up hostility Yeah that’s exactly the matter with me [Outro] That’s exactly the matter with me
