Do What Comes Natural

[Chorus]
They say do what comes natural
Just be the real me
Follow your true you
Inside of your head
But if I did what comes natural
I'd just be a black hole
I'd never get dressed
Or even get out of bed

[Verse 1]
I don't want to cook food
Or have to go shopping
For recipe options
Or make out a list
And if the sink piles higher
It still wouldn't inspire (me)
To wash out a wine glass
Or dry off a dish

[Verse 2]
And I hate to start drawing
It's so pointless and boring
Why devote so much effort
For some second-rate art
So I force myself to it
Every time that I do it
I just go through the motions
Though I'd rather not start

[Chorus]
They say do what comes naturally
Just be the natural me
Follow your true you
Inside of your head
But if i did what comes natural
I'd just be an asshole
I'd be lonely and broke
Probably better off dead

[Verse 3]
I don't want to walk out
Or go to museums
Assemble a picnic
Or think of a plan
On a rainy or nice day
On a bus or a subway
Why would I want to?
Just because that I can?

[Verse 4]
Or have to take towels
And change into swimsuits
Then have to go swimming
Then have to get dry
And need to use sunscreen
And work on a suntan
Even just to be lazy
Still demands that I try

[Chorus]
They say do what comes naturally
Just be the natural me
Follow your true you
Inside of your head
But if i did what comes natural
I'd wouldn't do nothin
I'd stick my head in an oven
If I obeyed what they said

[Verse 5]
Who wants to book concerts
Or check in at airports
Or write out a setlist
Or find where to park
Or talk about money
Or memorize lyrics
Or drive when it's bright out
Or drive when it's dark

[Verse 6]
And why be a nice guy?
Why be responsive?
Why be responsible
To family or friends?
And even if I did something
It's never just one thing
I'd have to do something else
After the first something ends

[Chorus]
They say just be the real you
Do what you want to
Follow the madness
Inside of your soul
But what's inside of me
Is basically gravity
A meaningless cavity
A bottomless hole

[Verse 7]
Oh the lazy sensations
Easy gratifications
The corruption and gluttony
And sugar and fat
The me that I'd follow
Is just shallow and hollow
To just be a natural me
Would only be that

[Verse 8]
But if you act like an artist
Then it makes you an artist
If you act like a sleazeball
Then it makes you a sleaze
If you act like an athlete
Then it makes you an athlete
But it's always a challenge
And it's never a breeze

[Verse 9]
And if you act like you love me
Then I guess that you love me
And if I act like a dad
Someday then I'd be a dad
So I could say it was true
The things I made myself do
Because the things that I did
Became the life that I had

[Verse 10]
I didn't want to be drawing
Or writing or singing
Or working for money
Or working for art
Or being a nice guy
Or having a lifestyle
Still nothing ever gets done
If I don't force it to start

[Chorus]
They say do what comes naturally
Just be the real me
Follow your true you
Inside of your head
But if I did what comes natural
I'd just be a black hole
I'd never get dressed
Or even get out of bed
