my life till now has been
filled with doubt
here I am because there's no other place I can go
but I can see you're a lot like me
so maybe you know
somewhere people like us can go
where we won't get kicked out
cause we've got a lot to talk about
after years of research I think I've figured it out

it's the little things
that get you down
it's the bigger things
that you can't get around
and it's way too flat
on the middle ground
but everything else is wide open
so let's go
ba ba ba ba ba
together

Teacher please
don't be such a tease
give me some kind of sign
not detention this time
the things that we used to do
have been turned into a zoo
by people who say
all the things we used to say
and if we say them again
then we're gonna sound just like them
after years of remorse
I've finally taken it in

it's the little things
that get you down
it's the bigger things
that you can't get around
and it's way too flat
on the middle ground
but everything else is our oyster
everything else is a picnic
everything else is terrific
so let's go
ba ba ba ba ba
