"Shut It Tight" lyrics - T BONE BURNETT

I find it hard sometimes to say the way that I feel
I do the very things I hate to do

I act like a child and I'm afraid of what is real
So I try to cover up the truth

I stumble like a drunk along this crazy path I walk
I have a hundred thousand questions too

I'll go to any length to prove that nothing is my fault
Later on I will deny the proofs

I don't like to win but then again I hate to lose
And in between is something I can't stand

I don't care what you think and I hope that you approve
I am just an ordinary man

Sometimes I wanna stop and crawl back into the womb
Sometimes I cannot tell wrong from right

But I ain't gonna quit until I'm laid in my tomb
And even then they'd better shut it tight
