THE LYRICS:
Sam
went through drivethru today
With some girl who’s gonna have his kid
And when his kid turns five I hope he doesn’t
Act like his father did
My mother taught me manners
And my school taught me how to spell
Sam taught me to take down my pants
And promise to never tell
Chorus:
Don’t tell
If you wanna know what’s good for you
You’re gonna keep your mouth shut
Don’t tell
You’re just a quick abbreviation
Hiding in my hell
Mike
came from under the border
I wish he stayed underneath
I should have ran away when he smiled
He had “slut” written on his teeth
He doesn’t like those secrets
So he took my self worth from me
Now I’m a ticking time bomb
To protect his privacy
Repeat Chorus
You’ve taken all you can take from me
Greg
big bad basketball player
Used to make the cheerleaders melt
I was never invited for his locker room talk
But I partied inside his belt
I was terrified to walk in the hall
The boy never left me alone
I think the sound that I’ve ever heard
Is when I heard that bastard moan
Repeat Chorus
