You owe a lot to self-pity
  it got you through your darkest days
  and anybody looking at the record
  would say you had a case
  you never imagined
  that you'd ever really make it through
  and now that you have, you don't know what to do
  the future has arrived, but where are you?
    ooh wah ooh, I see you crying
  ooh wah ooh, I hear you trying
  though you've got it down to a science
  self-pity won't help you now
    look at yourself,
  do you really believe
  that the world needs to see
  another aging enfant terrible?
    Alienation makes the world go round
  and as a fashion statement
  it's absolutely sound
  but you're not really an alian, as such
  self-confidence makes you seem so out of touch
  but self-pity seems like it's a bit too much
    ooh wah ooh, looks like you blew it
  ooh wah ooh, looks like you knew it
  though you taught the world how to do it
  self-pity won't help you now.
