Self-Esteem by The Dead Center Lyrics
[Sample from educational video "Shy Guy"]
In class, it's not so bad
But when school's out and the others go off to enjoy themselves, well
If you're what they call a shy guy
That's when you really feel it
You don't know how to make people like you
And you find yourself holding a grudge against them
You're standing on the outside, looking in
I lose my mind when I know that it’s certain
My mind is never working
It’s working but it’s not (It’s working but it’s not)
I get those butterflies and maybe if I opened up my eyes
I would see that love isn’t what you really need right now
I dropped off my consciousness into the great unknown
I can’t bеcome a better pеrson if I don’t know where to go
I’ve got no self-esteem
My hair is growing out and I’m mean
I've lost everything in my life to the Big Green
I have noticed heaven, it's the 7/11 up the street
If you wanna hang out this weekend, You can go to heaven with me
And if you want to slip into my world, You can come upstairs with me
We can sit around and do nothing, but it's got nothing to do with me
I dropped off my mind into the great divide
It’s harder to shield yourself when there’s nowhere to hide
I’ve got no self-esteem
My hair is growing out and I’m mean
I've lost everything in my life to the Big Green
And I’ve got no more dreams than to be what I think I seem
To be better than big f***** Green
If I can keep this going till winter
I can get past another day
Nothing in this world ever mattered
Anyway
But at least I was alive yesterday
I lost my soul in New York the lights were to bright for me
I lost my faith in love when I turned 13
I whispered into the ear of god and he whispered back to me
“My boy, if you wanted to fight for your life you could of just asked me”
I’ve got no self-esteem
My hair is growing out and I’m mean
I've lost everything in my life to the Big Green
And I’ve got no more dreams than to be what I think I seem
To be better than big fucking Green
He's got nothing on me
He's got nothing on me
He's got nothing on me
He's got nothing on me
In class, it's not so bad
But when school's out and the others go off to enjoy themselves, well
If you're what they call a shy guy
That's when you really feel it
You don't know how to make people like you
And you find yourself holding a grudge against them
You're standing on the outside, looking in
I lose my mind when I know that it’s certain
My mind is never working
It’s working but it’s not (It’s working but it’s not)
I get those butterflies and maybe if I opened up my eyes
I would see that love isn’t what you really need right now
I dropped off my consciousness into the great unknown
I can’t bеcome a better pеrson if I don’t know where to go
I’ve got no self-esteem
My hair is growing out and I’m mean
I've lost everything in my life to the Big Green
I have noticed heaven, it's the 7/11 up the street
If you wanna hang out this weekend, You can go to heaven with me
And if you want to slip into my world, You can come upstairs with me

He's got nothing on me
He's got nothing on me
He's got nothing on me
