Lyrics and translation
Original
Don't know much about history
'Cause I never learned how to read
Dropout, I'm a knucklehead
Sick boy and I shit the bed
Maybe I'm in love with a deviant
Maybe I got terminal vertigo
Slam dance on my face again
Nonsense is my heroin
Rude boy going comatose
Dropout and I'm adios
Maybe I'm in love with a deviant
Maybe I got terminal vertigo (oh)
I defy the science of a missing link
Oh, God, I think I'm gonna lose my skull
I said, "Look, Ma, I ain't got no brains"
I'm a goner and I don't feel no pain
I'm stupid and I'm all by myself
'Cause I'm special and I don't need your help
Well, I'm gone, gone, gone and I'm far away (don't panic, don't panic)
Well, I lost my head and I'm here to say (don't cry, don't cry)
Oh, mama, mama, mama ma, I'm all grown-up (don't panic, don't panic)
Well, it's too late now for my suicide
I said, "Look, Ma, I ain't got no brains"
I'm a goner and I don't feel no pain
I'm stupid and I'm all by myself
'Cause I'm special and I don't need your help
