[INTRO] 
C C
[VERSE]
CI wanted to change the world
CBut I could not even change my underwear
FAnd when the shit got really really out of hand
G7I had it all the way up to my hairline
CWhich keeps receding like my self-confidence
CAs if I ever had any of that stuff anyway
FI hope I didn't destroy your celebration
G7Or your Bar Mitzvah, birthday party or your Christmas
CYou put me in this cage and threw away the key
CIt was this 'us and them' shit that did me in
FYou tell me that my life is based upon a lie
G7I casually mention that I pissed in your coffee
CI hope you know that all I want from you is sex
CTo be with someone that looks smashing in athletic wear
FAnd if your haircut isn't right you'll be dismissed
G7Get your walking papers and you can leave now
[CHORUS]
CDon't know what to want from this world
CI really don't know what to want from this world
FI don't know what it is you wouldn't want from me
G7You have no right to want anything from me at all
CWhy don't you take it out on somebody else?
CWhy don't you bore the shit out of somebody else?
FWhy don't you tell somebody else that they're selfish?
G7A weakling, coward, a pathetic fraud?...
C C F G7
[VERSE]
CWho's gonna be the one to save me from myself?
CYou'd better bring a stun gun and perhaps a crowbar
FYou'd better pack a lunch and get up really early
G7And you should probably get down on your knees and pray
CIt's really fun to look embarrassed all the time
CLike you could never cut the mustard with the big boys
FI really don't know who the fuck you think you are
G7Can I please see your license and your registration?
[CHORUS]
CDon't know what to want from this world
CI really don't know what to want from this world
FI don't know what it is you wouldn't want from me
G7You have no right to want anything from me at all
CWhy don't you take it out on somebody else?
CWhy don't you bore the shit out of somebody else?
FWhy don't you tell somebody else that they're selfish?
G7A weakling, coward, a pathetic fraud?
CSo Jesus hasn't come in here to pick you up
CYou'll still be sitting here ten years from now
FYou're just a sucker but we'll see who gets the last laugh
G7Who knows, maybe you'll be the next queen of Denmark

[INTRO]

C C

[VERSE]

I wanted to change the world

But I could not even change my underwear

And when the shit got really really out of hand

I had it all the way up to my hairline

Which keeps receding like my self-confidence

As if I ever had any of that stuff anyway

I hope I didn't destroy your celebration

Or your Bar Mitzvah, birthday party or your Christmas

You put me in this cage and threw away the key

It was this 'us and them' shit that did me in

You tell me that my life is based upon a lie

I casually mention that I pissed in your coffee

I hope you know that all I want from you is sex

To be with someone that looks smashing in athletic wear

And if your haircut isn't right you'll be dismissed

Get your walking papers and you can leave now

[CHORUS]

Don't know what to want from this world

I really don't know what to want from this world

I don't know what it is you wouldn't want from me

You have no right to want anything from me at all

Why don't you take it out on somebody else?

Why don't you bore the shit out of somebody else?

Why don't you tell somebody else that they're selfish?

A weakling, coward, a pathetic fraud?...

[VERSE]

Who's gonna be the one to save me from myself?

You'd better bring a stun gun and perhaps a crowbar

You'd better pack a lunch and get up really early

And you should probably get down on your knees and pray

It's really fun to look embarrassed all the time

Like you could never cut the mustard with the big boys

I really don't know who the fuck you think you are

Can I please see your license and your registration?

[CHORUS]

Don't know what to want from this world

I really don't know what to want from this world

I don't know what it is you wouldn't want from me

You have no right to want anything from me at all

Why don't you take it out on somebody else?

Why don't you bore the shit out of somebody else?

Why don't you tell somebody else that they're selfish?

A weakling, coward, a pathetic fraud?

So Jesus hasn't come in here to pick you up

You'll still be sitting here ten years from now

You're just a sucker but we'll see who gets the last laugh

Who knows, maybe you'll be the next queen of Denmark
