Lyrics
Don't it make you feel good
Feeling positive or uplifted
When the world spins another way
When circumstances change unexpectedly
And it's all in your head
All in one's thoughts or imagination
And every little thing thing she said
Every statement she makes
Is a call to arms?
Is a rallying cry or motivation
A vote for the underclass?yeah, the underdog
A choice supporting the disadvantaged or the less favored
Still holding fast
Remaining resilient or unwavering
And I don't talk much, no
Expressing thoughts minimally
I don't think much, no
Engaging in minimal contemplation
I'm just a boy who hangs around
An individual who lingers without much purpose
I keep my eyes clean, yeah
Maintaining a clear conscience
I keep my nose clean, yeah
Staying out of trouble
Just a boy who hangs around
An aimless young man
I hear you calling
Hearing a call for attention or assistance
Don't you know I'm falling?
Awareness of personal decline or struggle
I keep my back to the world
Avoiding the troubles of the world
And Rita takes time to say it's all right
Rita reassuring that everything is fine
She always had some time to steal
Rita finding time to be deceitful
A summer of hate,
A period marked by negativity
No holy crusade, and the wars on TV
No righteous or justifiable cause, and distant wars on television
Are lost on me?yeah, they're lost on you
Misunderstood or disregarded by both the speaker and the listener
The battles we fight are all our own,
Personal struggles as the main battles in life
They're shabby and light and stupid and sad
Characterized by insignificance, simplicity, and sadness
They're all we have
Our personal struggles are all we possess
Yeah, they're all we have
Reiterating the importance of personal struggles
And I don't talk much, no
Engaging in minimal conversation
I don't think much, no
Engaging in minimal thought
I'm just a boy who hangs around
An aimless young man
I keep my eyes clean, yeah
Maintaining a clear conscience
I keep my nose clean, yeah
Staying out of trouble
I'm just a boy who hangs around
An aimless young man
