The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, "Everybody's Better" from A Jackknife to a Swan (The Last Angry Man)
Skammentary:
"Everybody's better than I am,
I think everybody's better than me,
And everybody's swell, I guess,
They're doing well, more or less,
And everybody's better than I am.
"Don't you know: To be king you don't need a castle,
To row back to shore can sure be a hassle.
"Why you walk around with your head low down?
"Everybody's acting like I don't matter,
Everybody's into the act,
Too many of them too avoid,
It could be that I'm paranoid,
I matter, as a matter of fact.
"Don't you know: To be king you don't need a castle,
To row back to shore can sure be a hassle.
"Why you walk around with your head low down?
The true king rules without a crown.
If your boat's afloat after the typhoon,
Row it safely back to the lagoon.
"And never mind the green grass you won't mow,
Or what it is you have or don't to show,
Or what it is you can or can't afford,
The good are good without reward!…"
