lyrics

You did the things you said you had to do
Made us all uncomfortable and feel bad
And even though I might have laughed sometimes
It was never as funny as it was sad

Nobody here could reign you in
Nobody wanted to play the cop
There you were unfolding in front of us
With no off-button to make it stop

Came down here, you didn't stay too long
Always knew that you'd never last
So many of you have come and gone
Faded out into the past

You did the things you said you had to do
Made us all uncomfortable and feel bad
And even though I might have laughed sometimes
It was never as funny as it was sad
