Be driving a green van
And watch the Mexicans scatter
Be the first to admit
He thought it was funny as hell

Now he's taken to flipping off hippies
At the river
Yeah, I never really liked him
But I would never tell

Then again I never did understand me
But then again I never did understand me

I have bitten my tongue till I can taste the blood
And I scream, 'Uncle' When you twist my arm
Yeah, I could say I was just too young
But I haven't yet learned to trust my bleeding heart

But then again I never did understand me
But then again I never did understand me

Just to keep the peace and quiet
I forfeit my peace of mind
Then again I never did understand me

Come for me and I'll be your canary
And stay till the end till it's bad for my health
Yeah, I can forgive every Tom, **** or Harry
But when it comes down to me I can't forgive myself

But then again I never did understand me
But then again I never did understand me

And just to keep the peace and quiet
I forfeit my peace of mind
Then again I never did understand me

I lift myself up for you to wear me down
And I do it every day as crazy as it seems
It's such a little thing like when I catch my reflection
I think girl, don't you know you shouldn't wear those jeans

But then again I never did understand me
But then again I never did understand me

And just to keep the peace and quiet
I forfeit my peace of mind

Then again I never did understand
But then again I never did understand
But then again I never did understand me
But then again I never did understand me
