Guitar 02:57
This guitar is sat upon me It's the one thing that's not beyond me It cuts my fingers into pieces But its music never ceases To amaze me, finding meaning In the smallest, most fleeting things It's a big old world, there's a lot to take And every boy and girl is gonna make mistakes So for this song that I'm singing I need a hero, I need a villain Both with motives, both with feelings And charisma through the ceiling Write two people, write 'em sky-high Flip a coin to pick the bad guy It's a big old world, there's a lot to take And every boy and girl is gonna make mistakes So the next time someone hurts you Remember we all got faults, we all got virtues Everybody is on the same line And being average is just fine And yeah there's saints but just like the monsters You'll never meet them, you wouldn't wanna It's a big old world, there's a lot to take And every boy and girl is gonna make mistakes If there's one thing I've learned from Mario Kart It's even monsters have got a human heart sometimes

Triangle 02:33
If all the world's an orchestra, then I'm the triangle I sit at the back and I only get one note per song And I've got my part to play, all right But it's never gonna change anybody's life I wish I were a violin, clarinet, flute or trombone And if you're doing something that you don't want to do If you're letting the world walk all over you If you hate your friends almost as much as you hate yourself You can comb through song lyrics and TV shows In search of an answer you already know You don't need me to tell you you're wasting your life You don't need me to tell you anything But I stood in front of everyone and played my triangle I played and I played 'til I thought that my heart would explode But it's hard to get them on your side When you've spent your life tanning the same old hide Of the pony whose one trick everyone already knows And if you've got problems then music's got answers But I am to music as tutus to dancers I'm there on the night But the show would go on just the same if I weren't The whole audience knows every lyric I sing But they don't sing along, no, they don't do a thing As I riff and repeat on the only note I ever learned So if all the world's an orchestra, then I'm the triangle I sit at the back and I only get one note per song And I've got my part to play, all right But it's never gonna change anybody's life I wish I were a violin, clarinet, flute or trombone Yeah, I wish I were anything else but the useless, no-talent bastard I am And I wish I could make people feel like they weren't so alone
