All my life trouble follows me like a mystery, girl

I've been chasing down a memory like a mystery, girl

I've been getting lost searching my soul all around this town

I took a wrong turn at growing up and it's freaking me out

Back at school it never made much sense

Now I pay but I can't pay attention

Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life

Too dumb to die I guess, but that's the way it goes

Sometimes I must regress these

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety in numbers

Give me, give me danger

Well I don't want to be an imbecile

But jesus made me that way

All my life I've been running wild like a runaway

Wherever the night takes me like a stowaway

Back at home it never made much sense

Now I pay but I can't pay attention

Teaches me the hardest lessons of my life

Too dumb to die I guess, but that's the way it goes

Sometimes I must regress these

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety in numbers

Give me, give me danger

Back at home it never made much sense

Now I pay but I can't pay attention

Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life

Too dumb to die I guess, but that's the way it goes

Sometimes I must regress these

Sex, drugs & violence

English, math & science,

Safety in numbers

Give me, give me danger
