Flagpole Sitter Lyrics

Artist: Harvey Danger

I had visions, I was in them
I was looking into the mirror
To see a little bit clearer
Rottenness and evil in me

Fingertips have memories
Mine can't forget the curves of your body
And when I feel a bit naughty
I run it up the flagpole and see who salutes
(but no one ever does)

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell

Been around the world and found
That only stupid people are breeding
The cretins cloning and feeding
And I don't even own a tv

Put me in the hospital for nerves
And then they had to commit me
You told them all I was crazy
They cut off my legs now i'm an amputee, G*d damn you

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And it's a sin to live so well

I wanna publish zines
And rage against machines
I wanna pierce my tongue
It doesn't hurt, it feels fine
The trivial sublime
I'd like to turn off time
And kill my mind
You kill my mind

Paranoia! Paranoia!
Everybody's coming to get me
Just say you never met me
I'm going underground with the moles
Hear the voices in my head
I swear to God it sounds like they're snoring
But if you're bored then you're boring
The agony and the irony, they' re killing me

I'm not sick but I'm not well
And I'm so hot cause I'm in hell
I'm not sick but I'm not well
And it's a sin to live so well

I've always liked it, but never knew the lyrics. It's 100 times better than I thought.

This song is possibly one of the catchiest ever. ALWAYS stuck in my head.

The band Chiodos does an amazing cover for this song. Perhaps better than the original..

"They cut off my legs, now I'm an amputee, G*d damn you."

Must've been a jew that typed these lyrics.. Nothing against 'em but they're the only ones that do that.

I love this. I sang it all day during school, everyone looked at me crazy. They just have no taste in music.

A great song!

However, one of the best lines ever

"Been around the world and found that only stupid people are breeding..."

Name your favorite line...
