Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed
She was looking kind of dumb with her finger and her thumb
In the shape of an "L" on her forehead

Well the years start coming and they don't stop coming
Fed to the rules and I hit the ground running
Didn't make sense not to live for fun
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb

So much to do so much to see
So what's wrong with taking the back streets
You'll never know if you don't go
You'll never shine if you don't glow

This makes me immediately think of Shrek

Such a shame that a really great song got ruined by that movie! Don't get me wrong, I liked the movie, but everybody identifies it with Shrek, and it deserves so much more than that.

If those who are close to you know who you really are, isn`t THAT all that matters?
