Barenaked Ladies - Bull In A China Shop lyrics

I'm a kid in a candy store

I'm a bull in a china shop

I'm a tired old metaphor

For everything you can't afford

And everything you can't afford to be

I'm a public embarrassment

I'm a bottle of diet poison

I'm a walking advertisement

For everything I never meant

And everything I never meant to be

I can't hear a thing

Cause I've stopped listening

I'm the reason I don't go out

I'm afraid I might tell me something

I'm the shadow of every doubt

I'm the product this song's about

I'm the product this song's about to be

I can't hear a thing

Cause I've stopped listening

I can't hear a thing

Cause I've stopped listening

Every morning

Since I was born

It's been hard to look in the mirror

And see my face for the horns

All the fun that the law allows

All the fun but with half the meaning

Come on over, I'll show you how

If you lived here you'd be home by now

If you still lived here you'd be home now with me

I can't hear a thing

Cause I've stopped listening

I can't hear a thing

Cause I've stopped listening
