The Unbearable Lightness of Telling the Truth

from Thalidomide by Thalidomide

	/

lyrics

Don't ever want to be like me!

I'm a snowball rolling down the hill,
a tornado raging in the field,
swallowing all and throwing it up again and again,
until I find your weakness and shoot to kill.

Nothing but mess is all I yield...

I'm a kamikaze bomber,
I'm an endless bummer,
I'm a lie,
I’m more than you see.

I'm a thalidomide treatment,
a day of atonement,
I'm a lie,
I’m more than you see.

I'm a honest politician,
a conformist punk,
a blind driver,
a straight edge drunk,
a harmless weapon,
a faithful whore,
I'm a lie and much more...

Why everyone is just like me?
Why everyone wants to be me?

Don’t ever want to be like me!

I'm a song with no words
a blank verse that tells nothing,
no meaning to convey,
just hints that lead you astray.

I'm a fable with no moral, I’m sick and tired of all,
a tragedy with good end. and it was so even before.

I'm an endless day and
never-ending night,
an everlasting love,
and unending plight.

I'm a thrilling boredom,
an absolute truth,
an unquestionable right,
and the eternal youth.
I'm a lie.

I'm an ideal life
and fulfilled American dream.
I'm Hollywood happiness,
I just ain't what it seems.

Because I'm an unbearable lightness of telling the truth
I'm a lie!
I'm you!

I'm a fucking song with no words,
a blank verse that tells nothing.
Sorry, no meaning to convey.
