My first trip down electric avenue since Toronto 3000, with a casual nod to my past membership of a Dublin hip-hop crew.

lyrics

I follow instructions for how I'm meant to be,
Pensionable deductions? Now I know its not for me.

Oh, and your head is filled with such strange ideas,
Oh, we don't understand - do you not want to be us?
Oh, what's got into you?
Oh, I would take these things but now I have grown

So tired of being what
People say I should be but I'm not,
Though I've grown so mad I'm sorry too,
But I've grown so tired of doing what you do.

First there was confusion,
I was under duress,
Now I'm under no illusion,
I know for me what's best.

Oh, and your head is filled with such strange ideas,
Oh, we don't understand - do you not want to be us?
Oh, what's got into you?
Oh, I would take these things but now I have grown

So tired of being what
People say I should be but I'm not,
Though I've grown so mad I'm sorry too,
But I've grown so tired of doing what you do.
