ooo, what's the matter with the boy?
ooo, did he really have to be so sure?
but you're not thinking
ride around without a sound
restless boy in restless town
and you commence to drinking
a bottle up, a bottle down
a bottle white, a bottle brown
another day peels away
ooo, what's the matter with the boy?
ooo, don't you want another try?
part of the process
is sifting through the piles of shit
tell us you don't mind a bit
from a different angle
such power rarely deviates
in times of love, in times of hate
another spring will come
faithful friends all around
you wonder why you feel so low
look at me if you really want to see
the comedy and the clown
ooo, what's the matter with the boy?
ooo, has he really given up for sure?
here's a new solution
be square and kind to all your friends
stop staring through the bitter lens
ancient institution
this learning not to demonstrate
your asinine and callous traits
it could take some practice, I know
it could take some practice, I know

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
It's about the times when there is complete fuzziness in your head, when all you can feel is nothing. You walk around in a fog, not really thinking about much at all or perhaps fixated on the one thing you can't get out of your mind - like a girl at the end of a relationship gone sour. The song urges people to wake up, change your frame of mind and remember that you have friends around who wonder why you are being so damn tragic. Easy advice ... hard to do.
