Oh, mother and father,
they like to play doctor.
They ask what you're doing that for.
You tried to be good,
you did like you should.
It's them who can't do it no more.
Now they're screamin',
they're shoutin',
next they're kickin' you out
Expectin' you to come
back through the door
They always put up a show
so the neighbors don't know
That really you come from a morgue
Oh please, I believe
I'm gettin' restless
and I just gotta leave
Oh, please, can't you see
I don't like what you're
doing with me?
Well, I got nothing on you
Why do you have to have
something on me?
Watch out, the government fights
And if you're not very bright
It's a matter of kill or be killed
And you ask them what for,
they've had so many wars,
why this one would cure any ills.
But you're taught to believe,
you're happy and free,
you swallow it whole like a pill.
Yeah, but who wants to hate
or change anyone's fate,
enough to shoot a man over the hill.
Oh, please,
I believe I'm getting restless
and I just gotta leave
Oh, please, can't you see
I don't like what you're to me
Well, I got nothing on you
Why do you have to have
something on me?
The little boys in the class,
they never outlast
to make it to the football field,
where they huddle and dream
for the cheerleader queen,
but all the girls know it's
because of the bill.
Since you're lousy in gym,
you go with your friends,
smoking the hall with great skill,
And the prime you forgot
is you were out in the light
Turning on with the boys from the hill
Oh, please,
I believe I'm getting restless
and I just gotta leave
Oh, please, can't you see
I don't like what you're with me
Well, I got nothing on you,
why do you have to have something on me?
So you go find a girl,
you go escaping her curls,
till fi nally she gives you a shove.
Saying, though I know how,
we can't do it now
Besides, I was attacked at age twelve
So you make it for the door,
you pick yourself off the floor
Trying anything just for a touch
So she asks you again,
are you really her friend?
But much more, is this really love?
Oh, please,
I believe I'm getting restless
and I just gotta leave
Oh, please, can't you see
I don't like what you're to me
Well, I got nothing on you
Why do you have to have
something on me?
Something I'm new
Something I'm new
