Wooooowooooowoooowooo Wooooowooooowoooowooo All this frustration I can't meet all my desires Strange conversation Self control has just expired All an illusion Only in my head you don't exist Who are you foolin' Don't need a shrink or an exorcist Lalalala lalalala lalalala la Wooooowooooowoooowooo Show me the movie of who you are and where you're from Born of frustration Caught upon the webs you spun Where's ther confusion A vision of what life is like Show the movie that does't deal in black and white Talk talk talkin 'bout who's to blame But all that counts in how to change Stop stop talkin 'bout who's to blame When all that counts in how to change Lalalala lalalala lalalala la All this frustration All this frustration Who put round eyes on a butterfly's wings All this frustration All this frustration Who gave the leopard spots and taught the birds to sing Born of frustration Born of frustration Wooooowooooowoooowooo Wooooowooooowoooowooo I'm living in the weeds where nothing is the way it seems Where no one is who they need to be Where nothing seems that real to me 'Bout time we filled our lives Upon the walls of gold no solid ground The world is spinnin' endlessly We're clinging to our own beliefs Born of frustration Born of frustration Wooooowooooowoooowooo Wooooowooooowoooowooo
