Oh, what an ordinary day Take out the garbage, masturbate I'm still holding for the laugh The dogs will bark, so let them bark The birds will cry, I'll let them cry Here's my report from the edge Like a birth in reverse What I saw through the blinds You could say that I'm sane In phenomenal lies I'm the cause, make a turn Near the party line It was a birth in reverse In America This, too, will haunt me through the war Laugh all you want, but I want more 'Cause what I'm swearing, I never sworn before Like a birth in reverse What I saw through the blinds You could say that I'm sane In phenomenal lies I'm the cause, make a turn Near the party line Like a birth in reverse In America Like a birth in reverse What I saw through the blinds You could say that I'm sane In phenomenal lies I'm the cause, make a turn Near the party line It was a birth in reverse In America
