I began this day by hurting you.
I am sorry.
I’ve got no excuse.
Yesterday was a mess I guess the stress just blew my fuse.
I began this day by hurting you like I began the day before.
Johnny said I didn’t look alright.
I said ‘well, you’ve never looked alright’.
I don’t know what’s going on but I believe I must reconsider.
Susan says so many stupid things and I just want to forbid her.

So have mercy on me I’m in a jackass phase.
Have mercy on me, have mercy.
So have mercy on me I’m in a jackass phase.
I need your help to get out of here.
And the microphone tastes like shit.
And the migraine came with it.
So have mercy on me I’m in a jackass phase.

The John Irwing book I read last week it twisted and tossed me and turned me.
I kicked me into the right direction, but still I stumble the path.
Yeah, I began this day by hurting you like I began the day before.
Johnny said I didn't look alright.
I said ‘well you've never looked alright.’

So have mercy on me I’m in a jackass phase.
Have mercy on me, have mercy.
So have mercy on me I’m in a jackass phase.
I need your help to get out of here.
And the microphone tastes like shit.
And the migraine came with it.
So have mercy on me I’m in a jackass phase.
So have mercy on me I’m in a jackass phase.
Have mercy on me, have mercy.
So have mercy on me I’m in a jackass phase.
I need your help to get out of here.
