Lyrics:

I wake up, I am bored
To my pictures I implore:
Should I go or stay? What should I be today?
Make a leap?
Go to sleep?
Should I cry or should I weep?
Where should I go from here?
Am I hetero or queer?
Oh, self discovery!
What joy it is!
I need recovery
Caffeinated fizz
Should I run?
Should I hide?
Happy pill or suicide?
Contribute or refute?
Have a kid, then call it cute?
Oh, self -esteeming, in suburbia
My shelf is teeming
A pet named Chia

(Chorus)
Oh, ho, ho, what should I say?
What should I pray?
Who would care if I went ahead and punched the wall?
Oh, ho, ho, what do I care what should I wear
What does it matter if I change the world at all?

I listen to some rap
I give myself a slap
Come on, use the pain
Drink up from the rain
Just arise unsupervised
Healthy, wealthy, you know, wise
Dance around
Make a sound
Let yourself become unwound
God, I'm so German!
Have to have a plan
Please Ethel Merman help me out this jam
Ding a ling!
Ring a ding!
Anything just do something
Feelin' dense
On the fence
Civil disobedience
Come on, now's the hour!
Go and deviate!
Can't you feel the power?
Hope you appreciate

(Chorus)

OK, Dr. Phil, ready for my pill
Flex my psychic muscle
Guess we'd better hustle
People are dying now!
Do something you ugly cow!
Sorry for myself again; me, my wallet and my men
Jesus, I love you
Frank, I love you, too
Hit the road together, get out of the zoo
No exit
Just a pit
Apocalyptic and a zit
Hurry now!
Pack your bags
Adieu, you mall scallawags!
Got my sneakers velcroed
Snap my bookbag on
Goodbye, little zipcode
How can I go wrong?

(Chorus)

What does it matter
If I change the world at all
