Dull Boy Lyrics by Mudvayne

By the People, for the People

2007

[Intro]
All work and no play, makes me a dull boy
All work and no play, makes me a dull boy
All work and no play, makes me a dull boy
All work and no play, makes me a dull boy

[Verse 1]
Live in a secret, live in a lie
Live in a dark hole beneath the black sky
Live like a martyr and draw my last breath
Feel like an old man with a knife in my chest

[Verse 2]
Live like a transient
Live like a thief
Hide in your closet, Grinding my teeth
Sit in a small room with the walls closing in
Open the shutters but everything's still dim

[Pre-Chorus]
Payback
For all the things
I've done in my past
Payback
For everything
There are no takebacks

[Chorus 1]
I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scapegoat
I'm not your god
I'm not your martyr
I'd leave you all

[Chorus 2]
I'm not the reason
(I'm not your scapegoat)
It's not my fault
(I'm not your god)
It's not my problem
(I'm not your martyr)
I'm not the cause
(I'd leave you all)

[Verse 3]
Work and no play makes me a dull boy
Feel like a clown without my funny nose
Walk to the window, break it out with my fist
Jump from the sill and I plunge to my death

[Verse 4]
You call me selfish, whatever ya think
Throw back my pills and take a sip of my drink
Walk under the clouds
Walk under the trees
Always a canopy covering me

[Pre-Chorus]
Payback
For all the things
I've done in my past

[Chorus 1]
I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scapegoat
I'm not your god
I'm not your martyr
I'd leave you all

[Chorus 2]
I'm not the reason
(I'm not your scapegoat)
It's not my fault
(I'm not your god)
It's not my problem
(I'm not your martyr)
I'm not the cause
(I'd leave you all)

[Bridge]
Sunshine's gone (it's all gone)
By the way
Just so you know
Always
This is how I feel
By the way
Just so you know
Always, every day
This is how I feel

[Chorus 3]
I'm not the reason
It's not my fault
It's not my problem
I'm not the cause
I'm not your scapegoat
(I'm not your scapegoat)
I'm not your god
(I'm not your god)
I'm not your martyr
(I'm not your martyr)
This is how I feel
(This is how I feel)

[Outro]
By the way
Just so you know
Always, every day
This is how I feel
