I Live Like A Clam

[Musical intro] No one understands me I flunked school you see I'm a slow learner you know Got almost nothing to show Why you treat me so I try to go with the flow Try hard to mind my own biz Why expect me to be a whiz [Instrumental solo] [Chorus] Your five fingers aren't the same Dare we on God lay the blame Can't you take me as I am You made me live like a clam [Verse] Why on me you look down Treat me like I'm your clown Remember pushing daisies is your fate Ready or not that day won't wait [Bridge] If a monkey is my great grandfather Dust to dust why bother I have a divine nature for sure That helps me forgive and endure [Musical solo] [Chorus] Your five fingers aren't the same Dare we on God lay the blame Why can't you take me as I am You made me live like a clam [Verse] It'll all come back to haunt you Treating people the way you do Many horrors can humble you Sickness and grief can visit you too You are a prisoner of pride Lost, no map, compass, or guide Justice will surround you with your kind Dwell on this one in your mind [Musical solo] [Chorus] Your five fingers aren't the same Dare we on God lay the blame Why can't you take me as I am You made me live like a clam [Musical finale] [Narative] Why can't you take me as I am Why can't you take me as I am Why can't you take me as I am You made me live like a clam
