you put yourself in stupid places
yes i think you know it's true
situations where it's easy to look down on you

i think you like to be the victim
i think you like to be in pain
i think you make yourself a victim

almost every single day

you do what you do

you say what you say
you try to be everything to everyone
you know all the right people

you play all the right games
you always try to be
everything to everyone


yeah you do it again
you always do it again


you say they taught you how to read and write
they taught you how to count

i say they taught you how to buy and sell
your own body by the pound
i think you like to be their simple toy

i think you love to play the clown
i think you blind to the fact
that the hand you hold

is the hand that holds you down

chorus


spin around and fall down
do it again

you stumble and you fall
yeah why don't you ever learn
spin around and fall down

do it again
you stumble and you fall
i wonder if you will ever learn


why don't you ever learn


come on now
do that stupid dance for me


you do what they tell you to do
you say what they say
you try to be

everything to everyone

you jump through the big hoop

you play all the right games
you try to be
everything to everyone


spin around and fall down
do it again

you stumble and you fall
yeah you do it again
spin around and fall down

do it again
you stumble and you fall...
