Walking Contradiction

Song byGreen Day
in AlbumInsomniac

Do as I say not as I do because

The shoot so deep you can't run away

I beg to differ on the contrary

I agree with every word that you say

Talk is cheap and lies are expensive

My wallet's fat and so is my head

Hit and run and then I'll hit you again

I'm a smart butt but I'm playing dumb

Standards set and broken all the time

Control the chaos behind a gun

Call it as I see it even if

I was born deaf, blind and dumb

Losers winning big on the lottery

Rehab rejects still sniffing glue

Constant refutation with myself

I'm a vicitm of a catch 22

I have no belief

But I believe

I'm a walking contradiction

And I ain't got no right

Do as I say not as I do because

The shoot so deep you can't run away

I beg to differ on the contrary

I agree with every word that you say

Talk is cheap and lies are expensive

My wallet's fat and so is my head

Hit and run and then I'll hit you again

I'm a smart butt but I'm playing dumb

I have no belief

But I believe

I'm a walking contradiction

And I ain't got no right

I have no belief

But I believe

I'm a walking contradiction

And I ain't got no right
