 Virginia's almost sleeping

 The night is getting older

 There's static on the tv

 She's lying on the sofa

 The cats crawl over her

Jenny's in the garage

 She's got the car in neutral

 She rolls it out so quietly

 It's Saturday as usual

 It always is

 And me I'm in my bedroom

Drawing in my notebook

 Cause my hand thinks I'm an artist

 But my heart knows I'm a poet

 It's just words, they mean...

 So little to me, so little to me

 So little to me, so little to me

 So little to me, so little to me

 So little to me

 I can't seem to deal with something more

When everyone will fall back

Daddy's in the backyard

 his hands are getting dirty

 And mom is in the kitchen

 And her cake says that I'm thirteen

Another year

 My brother went to college

 To become a doctor

 And if he studies hard enough

 he'll end up just like father

 Who hates his life

 And me, I'm in the bathroom

crying out my eyelids

 Cause it's hard to be a man

 when you're scared just like a little kid

 The world's become...

 A little too mean, a little too mean

 A little too mean, a little too mean

 A little too mean, a little too mean

 A little too mean,

 And I can't see the point of patient love

 When everyone just wants to get fucked
