It's a point of view problem You've got no sense of distortion I'm always right, you're never wrong It gets blown out of proportion Maybe no one's right But it's always worth a fight And another win would sure help my extortion Looks like I won again I can't believe what you just said And I'll let you do the math if you can do it in your head But darlin', you can't add And your subtraction skills are sad So let's call it even and start over instead Sinking self confidence, ego deflator Why do we bother with it, escalator? Waiting around for the crowd to disperse The longer it drags, just gets worse And worse It's all over now Shaking like an oscillator So many battles lost and won That we need a calculator Nobody won the war Now, what were we fighting for? Got lost in all the convoluted roar Sinking self confidence, ego deflator Why do we bother with it, escalator? Waiting around for the crowd to disperse The longer it drags, just gets worse And worse Escalator, see you later when you stop smoking out your ears Evaporation cools you down Someday, you're gonna blow, you've been smoldering for years Nobody ever comes around anymore Sinking self confidence, ego deflator Why do we bother with it, escalator? Waiting around for the crowd to disperse The longer it drags, just gets worse And worse
