enjoy! lyrics: ======= it's like i dressed up in my mama's clothing it's like i'm talking to a voice that doesn't exist It's like i got a wire crossed upstairs But all i want is just a little truth and that's it they say i'm mental but i'm just confused they say i'm mental but i've been abused they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all another anchorman is on the tv he's got that far away and vacant look in his eye i turn the channel but nothing is changing the only truth is that everything is a lie they say i'm mental but i'm just confused they say i'm mental but i've been abused they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all there's truth in everything there's truth in lies with all this knowledge i think i'm gonna be wise they say i'm mental but i'm just confused they say i'm mental but i've been abused they say i'm mental 'cause i'm not amused by it all not at all not at all not at all not at all not at all not at all not at all ============================================================================ | / slide up | \ slide down | h hammer-on | p pull-off | ~ vibrato | + harmonic | x Mute note ============================================================================
