We Are Scientists - Lousy Reputation

Why do I keep finding myself so surprised
The qualities you opened we have advertised
a bigger man might not feel quite so compromised
But I’ve never been a saint and I won’t start tonight


It’s burning me up I’ve heard it enough,
I won’t let your lousy reputation throw me off
I’ve heard it enough I won’t let your lousy reputation throw me

I’ve heard some things I guess it’s better not to know,
It’s pretty bad as far a first impressions go
A bigger man could probably get passed it all
Ohhh the problem here is I just won’t grow up “so what”

It’s burning me up I’ve heard it enough,
I won’t let your lousy reputation throw me off
I’ve heard it enough I won’t let your lousy reputation throw me off

-Off 11 times-

It’s burning me up I’ve heard it enough,
I won’t let your lousy reputation throw me off
I’ve heard it enough I won’t let your lousy reputation throw me off
