I’m sorry that I don’t always Find the time for exercising And sometimes my room is cluttered I’m not a real clean person I’m sorry that sometimes I leave my cereal bowl On the table I don’t relate, half the time To things that are important **But I don’t smoke and I don’t drink I don’t do drugs I don’t party I’m good at school, And I live at home I’m doing my best, Mom.** I know sometimes I’m not perfect I do not practice What I preach But neither do you Cause no one can Don’t mean to burst your bubble. I can’t read minds, You’d like me to I wish I could Cause then I’d know Exactly when you’re mad at me And then I wouldn’t need To have these pointless Panic Attacks My brain thinks are so important I should see a doctor **But I don’t smoke and I don’t drink I don’t do drugs I don’t party I do well school, And I live at home I’m doing my best, Mom.** I like to think I’m unique I try to stand outside the crowd But you told me I sure blend in well I think that’s mean Because you’re the most Basic ***** I’ve ever known But maybe you’re right, I’m just like you. **But I don’t smoke and I don’t drink I don’t do drugs I don’t party I’m good at school, And I live at home I’m doing my best, Mom.** You’re right, Mom: A "B" is not an "A" I’m a hoarder I’m not healthy I’m pretty lazy Quite complacent Self-righteous Inconsiderate But I’m doing my best, Mom

I'm doing my best, Mom.
I’m sorry that I don’t always Find the time for exercising And sometimes my room is cluttered I’m not a real clean person I’m sorry that sometimes I leave my cereal bowl On the table I don’t relate, half the time To things that are important **But I don’t smoke and I don’t drink I don’t do drugs I don’t party I’m good at school, And I live at home I’m doing my best, Mom.** I know sometimes I’m not perfect I do not practice What I preach But neither do you Cause no one can Don’t mean to burst your bubble. I can’t read minds, You’d like me to I wish I could Cause then I’d know Exactly when you’re mad at me And then I wouldn’t need To have these pointless Panic Attacks My brain thinks are so important I should see a doctor **But I don’t smoke and I don’t drink I don’t do drugs I don’t party I do well school, And I live at home I’m doing my best, Mom.** I like to think I’m unique I try to stand outside the crowd But you told me I sure blend in well I think that’s mean Because you’re the most Basic ***** I’ve ever known But maybe you’re right, I’m just like you. **But I don’t smoke and I don’t drink I don’t do drugs I don’t party I’m good at school, And I live at home I’m doing my best, Mom.** You’re right, Mom: A "B" is not an "A" I’m a hoarder I’m not healthy I’m pretty lazy Quite complacent Self-righteous Inconsiderate But I’m doing my best, Mom
May be a song one day.
