THE LYRICS:

I touched a boy
Who wanted to touch a boy
He made a stranger of me
Cause we touched sexually
He’s not a puppet
He made his advance
My head’s better on my shoulders
Than in my pants

He pulled my body close to him
And then the world closed us in
The pretty boys have made it plain
They’re blank behind their cellophane
(he left me…)
I went to school
But all I learned
Were locker walls bathroom stalls
Running while they broke my balls
And I’d hold that boy
When he’s running quick
My heart’s bigger than my dick

Cause every great teacher in the world
Never made it feel right when I held a girl
The shiny boys have made it plain
They’re blank behind their cellophane
