Something They Can Love

lyrics

Step off of the school bus
Light a cigarette up
and try to look your toughest as
the bullies make their rounds
Pull your ratty hood up
and tell a dirty story
Go ahead and stretch the truth
if lying gets a laugh

A little bit can make a lot of difference
if you don’t forget
It doesn’t really matter what you’ve got
it’s what you do with it
Maybe if you find it in your heart to join them in their fun
they might turn you into something they can love

Sneak out of class early,
park out by the highway
and drain a quart of lord-knows-what
and walk back into town
Try to keep your balance
Try to keep your insides in
then stagger home to your horrified
imaginary friends

A little bit can make a lot of difference
if you don’t forget
It doesn’t really matter what you’ve got
it’s what you do with it
Maybe if you find it in your heart to join them in their fun
they might turn you into something they can love
