lyrics

I think it was nice how it use to be

But I wasn’t around in me

Oh and all that I missed

‘Cause I was mostly pissed

And I couldn’t see the forest for the trees

And I struggled to string a sentence together

And the teachers said, you’re not clever

And old war-horse Smithy said

“Repeat after me, I’m an idiot

I’m an idiot”

So I wasn’t around in me

I think it was nice how it use to be

But I wasn’t around in me

I thought animals did pong

And nature seemed quite wrong

But I couldn’t be sure

As I wasn’t around in me

So I traveled the seven seas

To see what all the fuss was about

But I came back the same

That was my claim to fame

Still wasn't around in me

I’m an idiot

So I wasn’t around in me

I think it was nice how it use to be

But I wasn't around on me

And now that I think I know

It’s easy to be

Just around in me
