  • Do you worry that you're not liked?
    How long 'til you break
    You're happy 'cause you smile
    But how much can you fake?
    An ordinary boy, an ordinary name
    But ordinary's just not good enough today
    And ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo
    And ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo

    Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, I'm thinking
    Why-ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah, Superman's dead
    Ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah, is it in my head?
    Ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah, we'll just laugh instead

    You worry about the weather and
    Whether or not you should hate
    Are you worried about your faith?
    Kneel down and obey
    You're happy you're in love
    You need someone to hate
    An ordinary girl, an ordinary waist
    But ordinary's just not good enough today

    Alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, alone, I'm thinking
    Why-ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah, Superman's dead
    Ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah, is it in my head?
    Ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah, we'll just laugh instead

    You worry about the weather and whether or not you should hate

    And ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo
    And ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo
    And ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo
    And ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo, ow, a-woo
    Why-ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah
    Why-ee-I-ee-I-I
    Why-ee-I-ee-I-ee, yeah
    Why-ee-I-ee-I-I

    Doesn't anybody ever know?
    Doesn't anybody ever know?
    Doesn't anybody ever know?
    That the world's a subway, subway, I
    Doesn't anybody ever know?
    Doesn't anybody ever know?
    Doesn't anybody ever know?
    That the world's a subway, subway, I
    That the world's a subway, subway, I
    Doesn't any, any, any, any, any
    Doesn't any, any, any, any, any
    Doesn't any, any, any, any, any
    That the world's a subway, subway, I
