They Might Be Giants - Memo To Human Resources lyrics

I'll be in the back, and I don't need the help

I'm good here in the back

I'm good all by myself

I'm busy taking stock of all the things that I've forgot (5 4 3 2)

And making mental notes of just exactly where I lost the plot (2 2 2 2)

I stuck around too long feeling sorry for myself

A disinvited guest rifles through the bathroom shelf

I'm searching for some disbelief that I can still suspend (5 4 3 2)

But never mind the furthermore-the plea is self-defense again (2 2 2 2)

Then the people came to talk me down

And I got some advice

Then the people came to talk me down

But I don't need advice-I'm down

Later in my car I considered what you said

I'm good here in my car

I'm good with what you said

And I'd be shouting out to you but I was mighty hoarse

Talk you through the finer points and issues much too small to force

Then the people came to talk me down

And I got some advice

Then the people came to talk me down

But I don't need advice-I'm down
