LyricMeaning

Inner Peace
Nellie McKay

In high school it was cool to say

You look funny, you're a retard dummy

A retarded dummy, yeah, you suck out of luck

You're no Playboy bunny

He he, so you laugh, it's a gas

They're right on the money, they're just being funny

Hysterically funny, yeah I'm stupid, it's true

Now, can we be chummy? Maybe

But then it hits you then it kicks you

Then you realize you're not unique

And you ignore it, you implore it

Just to let you turn the other cheek

Don't wanna think about the schools in Bosnia

Don't wanna sing about food in Somalia

I don't need this, I don't see this

All I want is inner peace

Graduate but too late, college will just hurt you

Soon they'll all desert you, get your just desserts you

All essays MLA format they'll convert you

Could they?

So you try, it's like pie, get just more alert you

They'll not try to hurt you, only you can hurt you

So you say, so you play, they would not subvert you

Would they?

But then it hits you, then it kicks you

Then you realize you're not unique

And you ignore it, you implore it

Just to let you get on through the week

Don't wanna think about the new armed forces

Don't wanna sing about no carriage horses

I don't need this, I don't see this

All I want is inner peace

You pretend it's the end

Ah yes, I'm all grown now

Uh huh, I'm at home now

Fool, you're never home now

Even this laugh'll pass

Go answer your phone now

You'll see, see I told you you're old

Now, you're all alone now

Look Ma, how I've grown now

Ain't you proud I'm grown now

Look this head is all dead

See how much you've done now, you pussy

But then it hits you, then it kicks you

Then you realize you're not unique

And you ignore it, you implore it

Just to let you find the 'Om' you seek

Don't wanna think about the fall elections

Don't wanna sing about no vivisection

I don't need this, I don't see this

All I want is inner peace, inner peace
