Just lie down here like everybody else I see
If I’m silent maybe no one will even notice me
Finally found a way to make them stop hating me
Tonight they lost this sharp things game they played with me

Long as I remember they played
All these evil games
Throwing toys and chairs and punches
Screaming all these awful names
A little boy seemed harmless
But I always did something wrong
And when I lost to them
Them losing to each other took so long

All these lights and people
Asking all these stupid things
They all know what really happened
But they wouldn’t do a thing
Talking about kids these days
What’s with the world today
I don’t care no more- all I know is
Tonight I just might sleep okay

They slept that night but I was just too sore
I tied their hands with tape and laid them on the floor
Told them all about this sharp things game we’d play
Now there’s this awful mess there where they lay

Only nine years old
But I know I’d done something right
They all ask me why I had so much trouble
Sleeping that night I said – we were playing dead
But I lost to them again
I woke up and moved, but they’re still playing
Look – I lost to all of them...
