We started livin' in an old house
My ma gave birth and we were checkin' it out
It was a baby boy
So we bought him a toy
It was a ray gun
And it was 1981
We named him 'Baby'
He had a toothache
He started cryin'
It sounded like an earthquake
It didn't last long
Because I stopped it
I grabbed a rag doll
And stuck some little pins in it
Now we're a family
And we're alight now
We got money
And a little place to fight now
We don't know you
And we don't owe you
But if you see us around
I got somethin' else to show you
Well it's easy
When you don't know better
You think it's sleazy?
Then put it in a short letter
We keep warm
But there's just something wrong when you
Feel like you're the hardest little button to button
I had opinions
That didn't matter
I had a brain
That felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
With nothin' in it
Except a stick
A dog and a box with somethin' in it
The hardest button to button (x4)
(The hardest button to button) (x4)
