All my life, trouble follows me like a mystery girl And I’ve been chasing down a memory like a mystery girl I’ve been getting lost searching my soul all around this town Took a wrong turn at growing up, and it’s freaking me out Back at school, it never made much sense Now I pay, but I can pay attention Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life Too dumb to die, I guess But that’s the way it goes Sometimes I must regress to Sex, drugs and violence English, math and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger I don't wanna be an imbecile But Jesus made me that way All my life I’ve been running wild like a runaway Wherever the night takes me like a stowaway Back at home, it never made much sense Now I pay, but I can pay attention Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life Too dumb to die, I guess But that’s the way it goes Sometimes I must regress to Sex, drugs and violence English, math and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger Back at home, it never made much sense Now I pay, but I can pay attention Teaching me the hardest lessons of my life Too dumb to die, I guess But that’s the way it goes Sometimes I must regress to Sex, drugs and violence English, math and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger Sex, drugs and violence English, math and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger Sex, drugs and violence English, math and science Safety in numbers Gimme, gimme danger
