You ride your John Deere down to the pond
|
Just to watch me struggle along.
|
You say you got your daddy's seed in you
|
And you think you're bored with anything there is to do with me.
|
|
You wipe your hands across your bare chest
|
And rub your fingers through your crew cut hair.
|
ˇ°Expelled from school,ˇ± you tell me with a grin,
|
ˇ°I copped a feel from an ex-girlfriend.ˇ±
|
|
I know you want to break the rules-
|
We were made by nature's fools.
|
And so you ride all day long, all by yourself,
|
ˇ®Til you feel strong-
|
|
Strong enough to stay
|
Strong enough to be
|
Standing in the way
|
Of everything I see.
|
|
You wanna know why I had to go
|
Down to the baseball park to see you blow it.
|
All the balls just fall from your hands,
|
And your daddy asks me, When is he gonna be a man?ˇ±
|
|
I know you want to change the truth-
|
We were made by nature's fools.
|
So you ride all night long
|
With your boys in those muscle cars.
|
And you go down to the city
|
And laugh at the faggots
|
Until the girls look pretty and until you feel strong-
|
|
Strong enough to stay
|
Strong enough to be
|
Standing in the way
|
Of everything that you could see.
|
|
I'm just a magnet for the rural faggots.
|
They come and knock on my door
|
Just to find they're running out of time
|
To figure out what they come here for.
|
|
I know you want to know the truth
|
And I'm the dyke who will give it to you.
|
By this time next year
|
you'll know you're queer
|
It'll all be okay
|
It'll all be clear
|
And you'll run away from home
|
But not to be alone
|
And you'll go down to the city
|
Where the boys are pretty
|
|
And where you feel strong
|
Strong enough to stay
|
Strong enough to be
|
|
