"At only 14, she's fucked up

In a million different ways

She can smile, but they're getting sick

Of the games that she plays

She's called selfish, but they don't know

Of the lives she has saved

And with shaky knees, she walks down

The twisted road that she's paved

"Leave your door open! You have to be watched

Twenty-four hours a day!

Don't you laugh: this is serious

You can't have your goddamn way."

"We're done with you; you have to go

We don't want you here.

You don't believe in god, you are evil

We're pushing you out of fear."

"Alternative school! Your behavior

Has gotten out of contol!

You have to eat! 2,000 cals

And make sure to watch that bowl."

"We're taking you away; he's no good for you."

"But he makes me happy!"

"He's a bad influence. Drug addict."

"Just let us fucking be!"

"We want you better, so were depriving you

One hand held at a time"

"I really love him. Fuck you.

And fuck this stupid rhyme.""
