Tryin' to Grow a Chin (Broadcast 1981)
One, two, three, four, hey!
I'm only fourteen, sickly 'n thin
Tried all of my life just to grow me a chin
It popped out once, yeah, but my dad pushed it in
Tell me, why he did hurt me?
Lord, he's my next of kin, he's a mex-i-kin
I'm lonely 'n green; too small for my shirt
If Simmons was here I could feature my hurt
Scared of the future and I hope I don't grow
Listen, I know nobody likes me 'cause everywhere that I go
They say no, they say no, they say no
No
They say no
Now I'm older, got a place in the town, babe
Got a chin in my shoulder n' it keeps growing down 'n down 'n down
I'm horny 'n lonely and I wish I was dead
Somebody tell me, why am I livin'?
Lord, I wanna be dead instead, that's right, I said
I wanna be dead instead, now dig this:
I wanna be dead
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
(Get the picture?)
I wanna be dead
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
I wanna be dead
(yes, I wanna be dead instead)
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
(Be dead in bed, yeah)
I wanna be dead
In bed Please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
I'm only fourteen, sickly 'n thin
Tried all of my life just to grow me a chin
It popped out once, yeah, but my dad pushed it in
Tell me, why he did hurt me?
Lord, he's my next of kin, he's a mex-i-kin
I'm lonely 'n green; too small for my shirt
If Simmons was here I could feature my hurt
Scared of the future and I hope I don't grow
Listen, I know nobody likes me 'cause everywhere that I go
They say no, they say no, they say no
No
They say no
Now I'm older, got a place in the town, babe
Got a chin in my shoulder n' it keeps growing down 'n down 'n down
I'm horny 'n lonely and I wish I was dead
Somebody tell me, why am I livin'?
Lord, I wanna be dead instead, that's right, I said
I wanna be dead instead, now dig this:
I wanna be dead
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
(Get the picture?)
I wanna be dead
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
I wanna be dead
(yes, I wanna be dead instead)
In bed please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
(Be dead in bed, yeah)
I wanna be dead
In bed Please kill me
'Cause that would thrill me
