Lyrics
I wanna run away to portofino
But I'd be happy anywhere that I'm not known
Call me the one to consider reconsider
Always wondering if I'm doing the right thing
I cut my hair I'll change my name
No matter how far I run away
The feeling always stays the same
Every time I try to reach out
And touch it
It always slips away
Sometimes I wish I didn't pick something so hard
I could just be teaching movie stars how to play cards
It's so hard to swallow when you're wrong
The kinda rage that turns you into king kong
Well you've come to my room
To prove the state, isn't afraid of me
Well, what an incredible burden that must be
To have to prove the state
Isn't afraid of an obsolete librarian such as myself
No, I'll tell you the reason you came
I don't fit your formula
I cut my hair I'll change my name
No matter how far I run away
The feeling always stays the same
Every time I try to reach out
And touch it
It always slips away
It's not about the numbers
It's not about the thrills
I just wanna smile as I pay my bills
If you found something
You liked a whole lot
Well wouldn't you give it everything
You've got
Your state has everything categorized
Indexed, tagged
You are the strength, people like me are the weakness
You control and order and dictate
And my kind merely, follow and obey
But something's gone wrong, hasn't it
I don't fit
Yes you fit Mister Wordsworth
In a few moments you'll be cringing and pleading, just like they all do
Oh yes indeed you fit
You've got a worthless, miserable little life
But you've also got an instinct for survival
And in a few minutes, when you feel life slipping away
When you feel that your survival is just a question of minutes
We'll see then which is the stronger Mister Wordsworth
The State
Or the librarian
