what exactly's the matter with me

Singer:barry mcguire

why do i deny all that's accepted true?

why can't i live my life like i'm expected to?

get a college degree

buy a color tv?

oh what's exactly the matter with me?

i believe no one's conclusions

i think for myself

i take nothing for granted

my brain ain't on the shelf

i've got my views though i may sound confused

oh what's exactly the matter with me?

why can't i settle down in one little place?

find me a girl and get out of this race?

but

my boots start itching

my eyes start looking

oh what's exactly the matter with me?

why can't i march when the cause is just?

stamp out oppression

greed and lust?

oh

inferiority

insecurity

yeah

that's exactly the matter with me

why do i yes" people that i despise?
