Lyrics:

'Hey, you're a riddle',

I say as I move aside

(Like I really need your advice)

But you won't leave it alone

Little men try but don't get a lot done

Living in sin doesn't move me either way

I get a feeling you're so vague

Like I said before

Little men come when anything goes

When the rain comes I sit home and pray

Make it all numb

I wish it all away

All I really need is just somewhere to hide away

Kick him when he's down

Here alone I'll put up and fight

Kick him when he's down

Beat me all the way I'll take it all night

Kick him when he's down

Hey, don't worry, I'll get along home alright

Hey, everybody's supposed to be the same

So how come they're so lame?

It's like taking a fall

Keep on running back into that wall

Awake in a dream, get up and go to work

But I'm feeling like such a jerk

Like I said before

Little men come when everything goes
