<poem>There's a kid | <poem>There's a kid you notice playing on the swing | ||
Cute barrettes and fingers loaded up with shiny bling | |||
You could walk up to her, say I like | You could walk up to her, say "I like your style" | ||
Instead you watch her from the safety of a country mile | Instead you watch her from the safety of a country mile | ||
Think of the fun that you could have | Think of the fun that you could have | ||
Laughter and games, you do the math | Laughter and games, you do the math | ||
Go take a chance, what have you got to lose | Go take a chance, what have you got to lose? | ||
Every day you walk in a straight line | |||
Eyes cast down, afraid to look up | Eyes cast down, afraid to look up | ||
But things won't change until you do something strange | But things won't change until you do something strange | ||
At point blank range | At point blank range | ||
Sticks and stones are breakin' your bones | |||
And ??? are callin' me names | And ??? are callin' me names | ||
But things won't change until you do something strange | But things won't change until you do something strange | ||
At point blank range | At point blank range | ||
You got so much potential | You got so much potential; you could rule the roost | ||
But | But sitting there, you need somebody to give you a boost | ||
Maybe it's genetic | Maybe it's genetic; your parents were the same | ||
??? before them so there's no one ??? you can blame | |||
Break with the past, do something nuts | Break with the past, do something nuts | ||
Talk to the girl | Talk to the girl working at Starbucks | ||
You never know where things are gonna lead | You never know where things are gonna lead | ||
Every day you walk in a straight line | |||
Eyes cast down, afraid to look up | Eyes cast down, afraid to look up | ||
But things won't change until you do something strange | But things won't change until you do something strange | ||
At point blank range | At point blank range | ||
Sticks and stones are breakin' your bones | |||
And ??? are callin' me names | And ??? are callin' me names | ||
