Do What Comes Natural

Lyrics

[Chorus] They say do what comes natural Just be the real me Follow your true you Inside of your head But if I did what comes natural I'd just be a black hole I'd never get dressed Or even get out of bed [Verse 1] I don't want to cook food Or have to go shopping For recipe options Or make out a list And if the sink piles higher It still wouldn't inspire (me) To wash out a wine glass Or dry off a dish [Verse 2] And I hate to start drawing It's so pointless and boring Why devote so much effort For some second-rate art So I force myself to it Every timе that I do it I just go through the motions Though I'd rather not start [Chorus] They say do what comеs naturally Just be the natural me Follow your true you Inside of your head But if i did what comes natural I'd just be an asshole I'd be lonely and broke Probably better off dead [Verse 3] I don't want to walk out Or go to museums Assemble a picnic Or think of a plan On a rainy or nice day On a bus or a subway Why would I want to? Just because that I can? [Verse 4] Or have to take towels And change into swimsuits Then have to go swimming Then have to get dry And need to use sunscreen And work on a suntan Even just to be lazy Still demands that I try [Chorus] They say do what comes naturally Just be the natural me Follow your true you Inside of your head But if i did what comes natural I'd wouldn't do nothin I'd stick my head in an oven If I obeyed what they said [Verse 5] Who wants to book concerts Or check in at airports Or write out a setlist Or find where to park Or talk about money Or memorize lyrics Or drive when it's bright out Or drive when it's dark [Verse 6] And why be a nice guy? Why be responsive? Why be responsible To family or friends? And even if I did something It's never just one thing I'd have to do something else After the first something ends [Chorus] They say just be the real you Do what you want to Follow the madness Inside of your soul But what's inside of me Is basically gravity A meaningless cavity A bottomless hole [Verse 7] Oh the lazy sensations Easy gratifications The corruption and gluttony And sugar and fat The me that I'd follow Is just shallow and hollow To just be a natural me Would only be that [Verse 8] But if you act like an artist Then it makes you an artist If you act like a sleazeball Then it makes you a sleaze If you act like an athlete Then it makes you an athlete But it's always a challenge And it's never a breeze [Verse 9] And if you act like you love me Then I guess that you love me And if I act like a dad Someday then I'd be a dad So I could say it was true The things I made myself do Because the things that I did Became the life that I had [Verse 10] I didn't want to be drawing Or writing or singing Or working for money Or working for art Or being a nice guy Or having a lifestyle Still nothing ever gets done If I don't force it to start [Chorus] They say do what comes naturally Just be the real me Follow your true you Inside of your head But if I did what comes natural I'd just be a black hole I'd never get dressed Or even get out of bed
