King of Mediocrity
© BugTheRoot 2013

When it comes to symptoms I’ve got ‘em all
When it comes to sickness I’m really on the ball
When it comes to losin’ No one’s got me beat
That’s why they say I’m King of Mediocrity

I got a hole in the wall that I can’t fix
I got a hole in roof that drip drip drips
I got a broke down truck that leaves me in the lurch
And I was even bounced out of my own daddy’s church

When it comes to symptoms I’ve got ‘em all
When it comes to sickness I’m really on the ball
When it comes to stupid I’m a Socrates
That’s why they say I’m the King of Mediocrity

I got a hole in my head I just can’t fill
There ain’t no cure there ain’t no pill
Come time for wisdom I get struck dumb
When I should be helpful you know that I will be all thumbs

When it comes to ugly I really take the prize
When I should see reason I shut my eyes
When it comes to failure I win the trophy
That’s why they say I’m the King of Mediocrity

I’m always Captain of the losing team
I’m the nicest guy you’ll ever want to beat
I’ll come in last when I should come first
I’ll piss in the well of Reason and then I’ll die of thirst


When it comes to symptoms I’ve got ‘em all
When it comes to sickness I’m really on the ball
When it comes to losin’ no one’s got me beat
That’s why they say I’m the King of Mediocrity

When it comes to ugly I really take the prize
When I should see reason I shut my eyes
When it comes to failure I win the trophy
That’s why they say I’m the King of Mediocrity

When it comes to symptoms I’ve got ‘em all
When it comes to sickness I’m really on the ball
When it comes to stupid I’m a Socrates
That’s why they say I’m the King of Mediocrity
