The imp inside (Обормот)

I know they all think I'm a - clown When I am monkeying around Just like a stick of dynamite I'm always ready to ignite And while I understand their claim You know, I'm really not to blame It's seems I've got another side Somebody's hiding there inside! This guy resides inside of me And he will never set me free He doesn't care if I agree No, that's the way it's gotta be He's always scheming on the sly He gives a knucklehead reply No matter all the things I try He always leaves me high and dry! I... Could have lived another way Punching the clock day after day Instead of getting nasty looks I could be reading antique books Imagine me lookin' so smart As I collect my modern art I'd be the darling of the crowd "As neighbors say, We're all so proud!" But — This guy resides inside of me And he will never set me free He doesn't care if I agree No, that's the way it's gotta be He's always scheming on the sly He gives a knucklehead reply No matter all the things I try He always leaves me high and dry! This guy resides inside of me And he will never set me free He doesn't care if I agree No, that's the way it's gotta be He's always scheming on the sly He gives a knucklehead reply No matter all the things I try He always leaves me high and dry! He's got this guy inside of him Oh yeah, he acts on every whim He's gotcha way out on a limb You're odds are looking pretty grim He's always scheming on the sly He gives a knucklehead reply No matter all the things I try He always leaves me high and dry! He's gonna leave you high and dry!
