Clouds of guilt, oh it's just the way I'm built Clouds of guilt Feel guilty when I leave Feel guilty when I stay Feel guilty when I'm down and out When I'm overpaid Feel guilty when I'm right Feel guilty when I'm wrong Even feel a pinch of guilt just singing you this song Don't ask me why it is, it's just the way I'm built Even days of sunshine are dimmed by clouds of guilt And if these words don't rhyme or a bit of milk gets spilled I find myself overshadowed by heavy clouds of guilt Clouds of guilt, oh it's just the way I'm built Clouds of guilt Feel guilty when I'm late Or early to a ball Strange to say, feel guiltiest when I've done nothing at all Missed the funeral of a friend That one stung for years But stranger still, felt even worse for swallowing my tears Don't ask me why it is, it's just the way I'm built Even days of sunshine are dimmed by clouds of guilt And if these words don't rhyme or a bit of milk gets spilled I find myself overshadowed by heavy clouds of guilt Clouds of guilt, oh it's just the way I'm built Clouds of guilt, oh it's just the way I'm built Is it some genetic flaw that is to blame? Or old religious training steeped in shame? I'm guilty of feeling guilty all the time Wish there was a way to free my mind Don't ask me why it is, it's just the way I'm built Even days of sunshine are dimmed by clouds of guilt And if these words don't rhyme or a bit of milk gets spilled I find myself overshadowed by heavy clouds of guilt Can never seem to get away from all these clouds of guilt It's the way I'm built, clouds of guilt
