from DEMOS by Rick Berlin

about

For (many) of my friends, and Doug LInse in particular, an affliction that makes ya weak in the knees

lyrics

Socially Retarded

i try
so hard
but in my head
i stand there
like a dope
wishing i was dead
n every word n
every look
i try not to be
invisible

not really
not really
can throw me a line

i laugh
too much
n i stare at
my sneakers
n i pray
you won't go away
n i won't put ya off
like i did
yesterday

not really
not really
throw me a line

my shirt is cool
n my pants r hip
+ my best friend
he said so
but i don' believe him
maybe if
i got
drunk with you tonight

not really
not really

i am socially retarded
i am socially shy
help me
