lyrics

i guess I’ll be a baseball nobody, cause I don’t own a glove
not allowed to play at recess, not allowed to play with sticks and bugs
i guess I’ll be a football nobody, cause I don’t own the guts
not allowed to play at recess, not allowed to play at lunch

and all the wrongs I did can be traced back to when I was a kid
and all the faults I have, they’re probably because that second grade teacher hated me
she would overreact because I couldn’t subtract, no I couldn’t subtract
seven years old, and I jacked her car, drove it into her house and she died on impact

if I was a paper airplane,
i would fly across the whole goddamn classroom
i’d have secrets written on my wings
if I was the president
we’d get citizenship for frogs and raccoons
because animals are people too

and all the wrongs I did can be traced back to when I was a kid
and all the faults I have, they’re probably because that second grade teacher hated me
she would overreact because I couldn’t subtract, no i couldn't subtract
and I was seven years old and I jacked her car, drove it into her house and she died on impact
