Uncle – Echolyn – letras

Mother do you mind if I sleep in today?There’s a boy on the corner who likes to pick on meHe knows the places I hide…I can’t get awayHe likes to see me cry, so he knocks me down againFinger points at my chest, bad breath in my faceHits me like his father would hit himTry to run if I could…I can’t get awayIt’s not like what’s under my bedI feel like a Charlie Brown look-alikeLook like a polyester kingIn my new suit from Arties, that’s right in townMy dress shoes from Acme never fitHe called me a goofy geek choir boyCatholic school freckled little twerpBlack frames they hang on my pudgy cheeksPants hoisted up in case of floodAll I hear is mother’s voice saying this is not how I raised youOver and over again making my head spin like a little topA corrective hand, the punishmentThis time I’ve got sentenced to my roomWhy can’t they see I didn’t start this oneBut I’ll take all the blame again and I don’t know why!Why, Why Why?What if I told you I was sorry?Would you drop the strap and let me have dessert?I’d even take the plate out of my pantsSo you won’t hurt your handLet me come down from my room let me speakI think that I’ve sat long enoughI think that I’ve thought long enoughI owe myself this walk outside todayThe world is not as big as I todayMother do you mind…I’m feeling awfully braveI want to hear you say…say it for myselfSay it now…I can’t hear youNow is here right now…it’s my turn nowMy mornings are more carefreeI don’t have to look over my shoulderI breathe a little easier now my conscience is freeI am what I told you
