Why do I deny all thatâs accepted true?
Why canât I live my life like Iâm expected to?
Get a college degree, buy a color TV?
Oh whatâs exactly the matter with me?
I believe no oneâs conclusions, I think for myself.
I take nothing for granted, my brain ain't on the shelf.
Iâve got my views though I may sound confused.
Oh whatâs exactly the matter with me?
Why canât I settle down in one little place?
Find me a girl and get out of this race?
But, my boots start itching, my eyes start looking.
Oh whatâs exactly the matter with me?
Why canât I march when the cause is just?
Stamp out oppression, greed and lust?
Oh, inferiority, insecurity.
Yeah, thatâs exactly the matter with me.
Why do I âyesâ people that I despise?
Why canât I say âI hate youâ right to your eyes?
Oh, Inferiority, pent up hostility.
Yeah, thatâs exactly the matter with me.
Thatâs exactly the matter with me.
