lyrics

What a drag it is to be me
(paroles et musique: Desmarais-Racine)

Though meaningless they are
My problems are crumbling
From the top-shelf of my heart
Romeo is moaning

The painter still at work
But Mona Lisa is confuse
After too much rehearsals
She blew up a fuse

I'm lookin' at the clock
And then I'm lookin' at the rain
The radio play Folk Rock
It help me stay insane

I'm lost 'cause I ran
And now I'm waiting for a ride
In haze I vanished
To keep it all inside

And if somebody's here
You're saying obviously
What a drag it is to be me

The farmer son he's stretching
He now steps in the line
He screwed up once, he won't do twice
He take this as a sign

He's strong, he's bright, he's mean
Doesn't miss one chance
All that the things that piss me off
They're all part of his plan

Jane screamed: ''Stop it!
You're bringing me so down
You know this is bullshit
And I really hate your sound''

I told her she was right
I know that I'm so lame
Now can I make you please me?
Dear lady Mia Jane

But if Mona Lisa was here
She'd say basically
What a drag it is to be me

Jane she's so sweet
She's like nursery rhymes
She stumble to her feet
And she gets back in the line

But Mona Lisa is to me
Like if a carnival of sound
Was ringing on through me
And lift me from the ground

And when Jane said she came
She left her heart back there
But that's alright for me
Mona Lisa's everywhere

I tried my best to told her
How does it really feel
She understand but quickly
Goes back to her meal

''She's my muse, she's my pills!
What the hell should I do?''
Get of hold of yourself
You guys are really through

And whatever she is saying
She said it already
What a drag it is to be me

The daylights are rising
You know this can't last long
Whatever I wanna play
I've already sung

The lampost in the street
Turn off to normal life
Abandoned in my sheets
The dream's where it's nice

I start from scratch and then
I introduced myself
I'm gonna keep my mouth shut
Everyone can go to hell

It's better left unsaid
And it's funnier that way
It was our precious secret
But I threw it all away

It was a sacred bond
And I'm the traitor in this game
I thought it would be fun
If everyone knew our names

But when I sleep it's fine
We are stronger than ever
I can enjoy the sun
And I'm lying close to her

The folk song is over
But it's saying endlessly
What a drag it is to be me
