Family Tree 03:14
Mama says daddy hugs me just a little too long Daddy says he needs extra love because of the Viet Cong Mama says we’re moving again, don’t tell Daddy where we’ll be Daddy says what’s wrong with love when you keep it in the family? What’s wrong with a little love when it’s love in the family? What’s wrong with a little love when it’s love in the family? What’s wrong with nuts when they cum from your family tree? What’s wrong with cherries when they’re popped by your daddy? Mama says she’ll kill daddy if he lays a hand on me Daddy says she’s just jealous she don’t got sweet peaches like these Mama says we’re moving again, don’t tell daddy where we’ll be Daddy says no sour lemon is gonna stop him from loving on me What’s wrong with a little love when it’s love in the family? What’s wrong with a little love when it’s love in the family? What’s wrong with bananas when they hang from your family tree? What’s wrong with salad when it’s tossed by your daddy? What’s wrong with a little love when it comes from your family? What’s wrong with a little love between my daddy and me? Oh. Oh! Oh my fucking god... Ewww! I’m never eating a banana ever again It’s just you and me now Mr. Switchblade

I’ve lived in Tampa, Florida; Montgomery, Alabama; Oklahoma City, OK Spokane,Washington; Tuscon, Arizona; Riverside City, CA Pensacola, Florida; Desoto, Texas; Chesapeake Bay, VA Hollywood, Florida; Camp Springs, Maryland; Alameda, CA Cars and bars and trailer parks and sheds and performances spaces When people ask me where I’m from I’ll scream different places! I’ve lived in Wichita, Kansas; Omaha, Nebraska and a van down by a river The bottom of a bottle, a bathroom stall and my mother's brother's crack den Ditches and dumpsters and abandoned shacks, closets and performance spaces When people ask me where I’m from I’ll scream different places! I don’t have any friends, I don’t have any family I don’t need anybody I’ve lived in grocery stores and local strip malls and a spooky movie theatre A Spencer’s gift store and my friends bathtub and a box for a 'fridgerator I don’t have any friends and I don’t have any family So mind your own fucking business, I hate that fucking question! Yeah!

Mr. Belding is a fucking piece of shit He molested me, he grabbed on my tit I don’t want to go back, I’m running away from school What can I do? Belding’s such a fucking tool No one believes you, old men touch you Nobody cares when the people you trust hurt you with lust So I’m doing the drugs (all of them), I’m doing the blow jobs I’m doing the anal and fisting and felching, gonna grind in strip clubs I don’t wanna go back, I want to be in control Wanna choose who I fuck, not get fucked by my principal No one believes, old men touch you Nobody cares when the people you trust hurt you with lust Why me? Why anyone? Why me? Why anyone? No one believes you, old men touch you Nobody cares when the people you trust When the people you trust When the people you trust hurt you with lust

With five hundred dollars I can make all my dreams come true If I work hard I’ll take home the prize With five hundred dollars I won’t need no education In two weeks and I’ll be dancing for my life Dancers don’t need to read, that’s why we only have to count to eight I don’t need speed to get ahead, 5, 6, 7, 8! Dancers don’t need to read, that’s why we only have to count to eight I don’t need a GED or an MBA With five hundred dollars I’ll be bathing in dollar bills If I don’t win I’ll stab them with my knife With five hundred dollars I can be the president I’ll show Bayside how bright this star will shine Dancers don’t need to read, that’s why we only have to count to eight I don’t need speed to get ahead, 5, 6, 7, 8! Dancers don’t need to read, that’s why we only have to count to eight I don’t need a GED or an MBA I just realized that I don’t need to read because I’m gonna win the talent show And I’m gonna dance naked for the rest of my life and put glitter on my nipples and jump out of a volcano! You know, like a showgirl! Dancers don’t need to read, that’s why we only have to count to eight I don’t need speed to get ahead, 5, 6, 7, 8! Dancers don’t need to read, that’s why we only have to count to eight I don’t need a GED or an MBA In the USA!

Oh, don’t blow little volcano Oh, don’t blow little volcano Sweet surrender gets sweet reward Don’t you blow all your steam on those who play mean Oh, don’t blow little volcano Oh, don’t blow little volcano
