Barry McGuire - What Exactly's The Matter With Me

Текст песни

Why do I deny all that’s accepted true?
Why can’t I live my life like I’m expected to?
Get a college degree, buy a color TV?
Oh what’s exactly the matter with me?
I believe no one’s conclusions, I think for myself
I take nothing for granted, my brain ain’t on the shelf
I’ve got my views though I may sound confused
Oh what’s exactly the matter with me?
Why can’t I settle down in one little place?
Find me a girl and get out of this race?
But, my boots start itching, my eyes start looking
Oh what’s exactly the matter with me?
Why can’t I march when the cause is just?
Stamp out oppression, greed and lust?
Oh, inferiority, insecurity
Yeah, that’s exactly the matter with me
Why do I «yes» people that I despise?
Why can’t I say «I hate you» right to your eyes?
Oh, inferiority, pent up hostility
Yeah, that’s exactly the matter with me
That’s exactly the matter with me
