You take your clothes off right after school    The tea is on, the flame is blue    You hope this won't take all afternoon    The tv's waiting to talk to you    It's your naked body on white velour    But there's no feeling, just weight on you    You get nauseous now as he speaks to you    Such proper language for acts so cruel    He says 'We all follow the rules    We can't very well go and break them now, can we    For you    Your older sisters, I've had them too    But you're my favorite, you know it's true    You look like your mother, in that thin disguise    Your parting mouth, your shutting eyes    And the way that you hate me, and the length of your hair    It's the reason I made you, it's the bond that we share    You see we're all trying to endure    You could easily go and make your own life somewhere    Couldn't you?'    And you keep your eyes shut, get to school on time    Where you're a bag of warm fluid    Where you're the corpse in the class    You walk so near to the lockers    You lay so low in the grass    Did you get that coat from the principal    Did you get that bruise on the bus    You should wash your hair more    You should look more like us    I saw you walking once under powder blue skies    You looked cold still, your collar was high    And I tried to talk to you, but you walked right by    I don't know which I said then, hello or goodbye    we're all trying to be pure    But it isn't a very easy thing now, is it to do
