“It’s lonely at the top” is a common phrase. This song is about how when you’re at the bottom of the barrel, you’re sure to find many others stuck in the same place.
I look around, I look around me
So many things to do, there’s so many things to see
I’m lookin’ up, at the Upper Crusties
I know they pity me, because I do what I please
It may be lonely at the top
But for those of us who couldn’t stop
We’ve got a hundred dozen friends
Who make sure the party never ends
We’re at a one way dead end cul-de-sac
I hit rock bottom but it didn’t hit back
I gotta say this really ain’t so bad
It’s a funny thing, it’s never lonely
I really can’t complain cuz it feels like home to me
Tell me to quit and talking shit about
I really gotta say, this bottom ain’t so bad
I got a demon juggernaut from battles I already fought
I put the cog in cognition, I’ll sign my last resignation
There is a neon sign and a wooden plaque, they say:
You’ve hit the bottom, we knew you’d be back
I gotta say, it really ain’t so bad
Tell me to quit, I’m sick of hearin’ it
Don’t see the benefit because it’s really not so bad
Just kinda sad
