Don’t lean on me ‘cause these bones are weak
They’re held up by friction and force
And I’m not sure it’s in me to be so mean
Can people change in any meaningful way?
We cover up
We renovate
Can you really fool the world with a fresh coat of paint

Save me
I am a little lost
A real head case
Why don’t you box me up?
You can bury me in the backyard

So save me
I got nobody else
A real psycho
But I could use some help
You can bury me in the backyard
You can tell the world that you did your part

I love that music saved you and
Lord knows it’s saved me too
But songs never love you back
And you never know the person preaching to you
You can’t believe what you hear and see
History is calling me
But I was up all night and I just want to sleep

Save me
I am a little lost
A real head case
Why don’t you box me up?
You can bury me in the backyard

So save me
I got nobody else
A real psycho
But I could use some help
You can bury me in the backyard
You can tell the world that you did your part

I’m guilty by association
I gotta work real hard to change some minds
I want your respect but not your praise
Don’t think of me on your dying day

So save me
I am a little lost
A real head case
Why don’t you box me up?
You can bury me in the backyard

So save me
I got nobody else
A real psycho
But I could use some help
You can bury me in the backyard
You can tell the world that you did your part
