Maybe today or the day after that   Gonna have to come to terms with who I am   Not myself, rather with whom   Talkin' 'bout the folks in the other room      Round their door on the tips of toes   Kids at school figured out a while ago   Now they take turns at throwing stones   While I talk on the phone in whispered tones      Irony defined   Is the opposite of what you had in mind   If you need a context clue   This would be the example that I'd use   You call me weak and unnatural   I don't move an inch at all   I just stare you down and laugh it off      I guess it's easier to recite   Then to ever bother trying to get it right   No skin off my back will be losing sleep   Over the kin they decide to keep      Mom and dad are gonna throw me out   When I tell them what I'm all about   I got it sweet but I gotta blow   They all hate me and they don't even know it      I'm willing to accept what might happen today   I can't surrender without giving myself away
