No one is ever going to treat you right,
stay up late and hold you by candlelight.
They'll just push and shove their arms around you so tight.
No marching band or machine man is going to hold your hands
through thick and thin. They will lie to you about it at the
clubs most every night. Then it's too late for rubbers and blues
bands. And your short dress is the only thing that he remembers.
All those boys with bad attitudes.
Wild-eyed lovers in your living room.
We've got time, the doctor's in.
He's got your medicine:
No more deadbeats skipping bail.
No more hockey freaks with no teeth in the front.
No more loose leaf tea, no more indie scene for me.
So why don't we make a pact in blood on his bigot's tongue
on his loaded gun that he's got outback on the roof-rack of his
favorite pickup truck? Where he tells you that he shoots squirrels,
shoots deer, shoots skunks. And he won't think twice about shooting
this boy in dress up. And you say:
My, my, what a beautiful lie.
My, my, what a beautiful life with no deadweight at your side.
No more pansies living home.
No more bankers bent on selling you their debt.
No more loose leaf tea, no more indie scene for me.
No one is ever going to treat you right,
stay up late and hold you by candlelight
until the bad news bears go win it in the end.
Or that douche bag of a boyfriend comes back again.
