Tell Me I'm The Only One - from the 1989 Wreckless Eric album Le Beat Group Electrique

I've got a head made out of bone
I've got a problem with some chromosomes
I'm on a one way ticket to the mutation zone
And there's plenty more like me at home
There's plenty more where this came from
There's twenty rancid moments in each pack

I used to be a nerd now I'm just a turkey
I used to be a nerd now I'm just a turkey
I used to be a nerd now I'm just a turkey
Come on

I mumble and I crawl
And I stumble before I fall
As my face flakes off the front side of my head
And I wish that I was dead
Or a shopping bag instead of a
Scumbag with a custard mind relaxing on a bed

'Cause I used to be a nerd now I'm just a turkey
I used to be a nerd now I'm just a turkey
I used to be a nerd now I'm just a turkey
Come on
