[Verse 1]
You know, well, I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
You see, I never get around to things
I'm livin' a straight, straight line

[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
Boredom

[Verse 2]
You see, I'm a-living in this a-movie
But it doesn't move me
I'm the man who's waiting for the phone to ring
A-ring-a-ring-a-ring-a-fucking ding

[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
Boredom

[Verse 3]
I know there's a-nothing that's behind me
I'm already a has-been
You see, my future ain't a-what it was
Well, I think I know the words that I mean
[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb, dumb
You know the scene, humdrum
Boredom, boredom
B'dum, b'dum

[Verse 4]
I'm takin' this extravagant journey
Or so it seems to me, uh
You see, I came here from nowhere
And I'm going straight back there

[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting da-da-da-da-da-da-da-dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum, humdrum, humdrum
Boredom, boredom

[Verse 5]
You see, I'm a-living in this a-movie
But it doesn't move me
So tell me, who are you trying to arouse?
Get your hand out of my trousers

[Chorus]
You know me, I'm acting dumb, dumb
You know the scene, very humdrum
Boredom, boredom
Ah
