listening to gossip

half-way gone
all the way out
totally resigned
don't worry I won't shout

she called me a monster
said, "he's really bad"
i started to growl
i got really mad

but then I resigned
myself to this fate
i don't have a reputation
so it's just too late

she demanded that they slay me
that they kick my hairy ass
"he's a nasty dirty man
and there's proof he made a pass!"

but then I gave up
I didn't say she lied
I don't have a reputation
so i could only sigh

she called me a lech
she said, "Destroy that man!"
i guess they agreed
and they devised a plan

whispers in the evening
voices late at night
call me a monster
it doesn't matter if it's right

so now i'm half-way gone
and I don't really care
i know that I'm a freak
i know that they all stare

I haven't been so nice
every moment, every day
i said that I was sorry
but that don't make it all ok
