Am
and i have lived in a junkyard , where the weeds eat up the rain
Am
you get anything there , you are out of place
Am
you know there’s hell to pay
F C G
and say , “you’re are sick , as you are lovely
F C G
and in need of a hand”
F C G
he tells me , you are never worthy
F C F C
but i was just a child you see , that’s my reality

he had a sick little girl , dirty and harmed with a breast plate made of metal
she drives all day in a rusty buick , feet don’t reach the pedals
got a jar of flies , a fathers disguise , where his heart should be
a mouth is sown together , she screams with those eyes!
and he says , “she’s as sick , as she is lovely
and in need of my hand”
he tells her , you are never worthy
she was all alone you see , that was her reality yeah

shoulda been sleepin , shoulda been dreaming , but i wake up to broken glass
we want more , an empty desk , in my homeroom class
i got an old bone pocket knife , tight in my right hand to save my poor mother , from the
junk yard man!
and i say , “he’s is sick he is not lovely
and in need of a hand”
and he will know he’s not worthy
as he dies alone you see , that’s his reality

i’m not sick , i Am lovely , and hatred is the curse of man!
and i will not feel unworthy
cause i’ve washed my hands you see , that’s my reality
