Analysis of Confused
I put on every suit I own
but none seem to do
I'm so confused
Drove into Boston last night
and couldn't enjoy the view
I'm so confused
Skyline of Kabul lit up
by a million troops
I'm so confused
No food in the kitchen
but for moldy stew
I'm so confused
I lit my hair on fire
so as not to feel reused
I'm so confused
Was able to sleep through the night
by ingesting a lot of booze
I'm so confused
I got a temporary smile
out of seeing you.
