Why do I deny all that's accepted true?
Why can't I live my life like I'm expected to?
Get a college degree, buy colour TV?
Oh what's exactly the mater with me?

I believe no one's conclusions, I think for myself.
I take nothing for granted, my brain aint on the shelf.
I've got my views though I may sound confused.
Oh what's exactly the matter with me?

Why can't 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 what's exactly the matter with me?

Why can't I march when the cause is just?
Stamp out oppression, greed and lust?
Oh, inferiority, insecurity.
Yeah, that's exactly the matter with me.

Why do I "yes" people that I despise?
Why can't I say "I hate you" right to your eyes?
Oh, Inferiority in hostility.
Yeah, that's exactly the matter with me.
That's exactly the matter with me.
This song is from the album "Eve of Destruction".
