Strum
D-DU-UDU
 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
 (Quietly)
I  can't hear  a thing
 (Loudly)
 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
 (Quietly)
I  can't hear  a thing
 (Loudly)
 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
 (Quietly, progressively louder)
I  can't hear  a thing
 Cause I've  stopped listening
 (Loudly)
I  can't hear  a thing
 Cause I've  stopped listening
 Song ends on G
