Hey, I think this is getting to me… 
First class living in a goldfish bowl. 
Just when I think I have driven my life where I wanted it to be, 
it takes me to a place that I don’t not want to go.

No, I just don’t care. (I hear them under their breath.) 
No, I just don’t care. (What they say… when they think that I can’t hear them.) 
I see them point and I see them stare.
 There goes that stupid guy with the short blonde hair. 

(Second verse is the same as the first, except with increased drum and
	bass presence and maybe the second guitar strumming at bit heavier)
Yeah, I think this is getting to me… 
First class living in a goldfish bowl. 
Just when I think I have driven my life where I wanted it to be, 
it takes me to a place that I don’t want to go. 

(Pre chorus is also the same, again with extra drum and bass) 
All I ever wanted to do was to learn how to break this world in two. 
Teach it all the tricks I wanted it to learn, 
teach it how to do what I want it to do. 
No one really understands just how simple and plain and predictable I am. 
Because all I ever wanted real bad was to play guitar in a rock and roll band. 
Now I’m just losing my hair and learning how to smile.

No Picture Oliver Average	#1 by Oliver Russ at Apr 15, 1975 at 11:25 AM EST
	This song is awesome. When I first listened to it I wasn't a big fan...but then I listened to the lyrics and it really hit home....talking about fake people who lead you on and such. Yeah Everclear! 1

No Picture E_r_I_c Average	#2 by E_r_I_c G_i_L_b_E_r_T at Oct 4, 1988 at 12:34 PM EST
	It sounds like a part of him is putting himself down. He's gotten older and he has learned that he really can't control anything. That kind of useless feeling breeds doubts in our minds. These are his doubts.
