Screwed Up

(Ron Mael)

In 1900 you held hands and felt like you`d scored
In 1910 you`d never need a horse anymore
In 1920 you could dance
In 1930 lose your pants
In 1940 you could go to war really soon
In 1950 you could just be dull and a bore
In 1960 set the world on fire
That was then, this is now
And nothing`s blowin in the wind

Chorus:
Screwed up, that`s the problem
You`re going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that`s your problem
You`re coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You`re wasting time seeking comfort
from any sight or any sound
I knew you when you weren`t a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around

It really doesn`t matter if you know how to sing
The only thing that matters is the girl that you bring
So when I saw you sitting there just asking for some curly hair
I knew that I was getting where I wanted to be
But someone must have warned you, so it`s Anchors Aweigh
This Johnny`s marching home again tonight
You couldn`t leave quietly You had to tell the world and loud

Screwed up, that`s the problem
You`re going down, down, down, down, down
Screwed up, that`s your problem
You`re coming unwound wound, wound, wound
You`re wasting time seeking comfort by having anyone around
I knew you when you weren`t a bit screwed up
Now what you got is spreading around

I`m getting on my nerves I`m getting
on my nerves and
everything you`re throwing at me`s
coming up a curve
Swing & miss
Swing & miss
Swing & miss and then you`re out

(Chorus)
