It Sucks To Be Me Lyrics

    KATE MONSTER
    Morning, Brian!

    BRIAN
    Hi, Kate Monster.

    KATE MONSTER
    How's life?

    BRIAN
    Disappointing!

    KATE MONSTER
    What's the matter?

    BRIAN
    The caterine company
    laid me off.

    KATE MONSTER
    Oh, I'm sorry!

    BRIAN
    Me too! I mean, look at me!
    I'm ten years out of college, and I
    always thought

    KATE MONSTER
    What?

    BRIAN
    No, it sounds stupid.

    KATE MONSTER
    Aww, come on!

    BRIAN
    When I was little
    I thought I would be...

    KATE MONSTER
    What?

    BRIAN
    A big comedian
    on late night TV
    But now I'm thirty-two
    And as you can see
    I'm not

    KATE MONSTER
    Nope!

    BRIAN
    Oh Well,
    It sucks to be me.

    KATE MONSTER
    Nooo.

    BRIAN
    It sucks to be me.

    KATE MONSTER
    No!

    BRIAN
    It sucks to be broke
    and unemployed
    and turning thirty-three.
    It sucks to be me.

    KATE MONSTER
    Oh, you think your life sucks?

    BRIAN
    I think so.

    KATE MONSTER
    Your problems aren't so bad!
    I'm kinda pretty
    And pretty damn smart.

    BRIAN
    You are.

    KATE MONSTER
    Thanks!
    I like romantic things
    Like music and art.
    And as you know
    I have a gigantic heart
    So why don't I have
    A boyfriend?
    Fuck!
    It sucks to be me!

    BRIAN
    Me too.

    KATE MONSTER
    It sucks to be me.

    BRIAN
    It sucks to be me.
    It sucks to be Brian...

    KATE MONSTER
    And Kate...

    BRIAN
    To not have a job!

    KATE MONSTER
    To not have a date!

    BOTH
    It sucks to be me.

    BRIAN
    Hey, ROd, Nicky, can you
    settle something for us?
    Do you have a second?

    ROD
    Ah, certainly.

    KATE MONSTER
    Whose life sucks more?
    Brian's or mine?

    NICKY & ROD
    Ours!

    ROD
    We live together.

    NICKY
    We're as close
    As people can get.

    ROD
    We've been the best
    of buddies...

    NICKY
    Ever since the
    Day we met.

    ROD
    So he knows lots
    Of ways to make me
    Really upset.
    Oh, every day is
    An aggravation.

    NICKY
    Come on, that's
    an exaggeration!

    ROD
    You leave your
    clothes out.
    You put your feet
    On my chair.

    NICKY
    Oh yeah?
    You do such anal
    Things like ironing
    Your underwear.

    ROD
    You make that very
    Small apartment
    We share a hell.

    NICKY
    So do you,
    That's why I'm in hell too!

    ROD
    It sucks to be me!

    NICKY
    No, it sucks to be me!

    KATE MONSTER

    Sorry to bother you, but I'm
    looking for a place to live.

    CHRISTMAS EVE
    Why you looking all
    the way out here?

    PRINCETON
    Well, I started at Avenue A,
    but so far everything is out
    of my price range. But this
    neighborhood looks a lot cheaper!
    Oh, and look - a "For Rent" sign!

    BRIAN
    You need to talk to
    the superintendent.
    Let me get him.

    PRINCETON
    Great, thanks!
