All my life, trouble follows me like a mystery girl
And I’ve been chasing down a memory like a mystery girl
I’ve been getting lost searching my soul all around this town
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 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 to

Sex, drugs and violence
English, math and science
Safety in numbers
Gimme, gimme danger

I don't wanna 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 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 to

Sex, drugs and violence
English, math and science
Safety in numbers
Gimme, gimme danger

Back at home, it never made much sense
