Pretty Little Things
My brother Shane
Used to play on the lacrosse team
He was the MVP
Shane's silver number nine
He was the captain
And no one was quite as proud as me
And when they won
Which they did a lot
He got these pretty little things
These championship rings
And he had fun
At least that's what we thought
He got those pretty little things
To last forever
My brother Shane
Was not a slacker in the least
He was also captain of debate
My brother Shane
Was a straight-A student
He kept a lot there on his plate
And when he won
Which he did a lot
He got these pretty little things
Pretty little things
And he had fun
Well, sometimes, maybe not
But he had those pretty little things
Those trophies
To last forever
And ever
And ever
But now he's gone
He took a joyride down a slippery road
He's gone forever
And those pretty little things
Are the only goddamn things
That we can remember him by
I still remember the day
That curved road took him away
Without a chance
To say
Goodbye
Pretty
People always call me pretty
Not funny, not smart
Just pretty
And isn't it the biggest pity
That she'll never be her brother?
And they're right
I'll never be my brother
I'll never win
Like he did all the time
He got those pretty little things
Those pretty little things
To my chagrin
I'm just a cheerleader
Almost past her prime
I'm just a pretty little thing
And that's what I'll always be
Forever
And ever
And ever
Used to play on the lacrosse team
He was the MVP
Shane's silver number nine
He was the captain
And no one was quite as proud as me
And when they won
Which they did a lot
He got these pretty little things
These championship rings
And he had fun
At least that's what we thought
He got those pretty little things
To last forever
My brother Shane
Was not a slacker in the least
He was also captain of debate
My brother Shane
Was a straight-A student
He kept a lot there on his plate
And when he won
Which he did a lot
He got these pretty little things
Pretty little things
And he had fun
Well, sometimes, maybe not
But he had those pretty little things
Those trophies
To last forever
And ever
And ever
But now he's gone
He took a joyride down a slippery road
He's gone forever
And those pretty little things
Are the only goddamn things
That we can remember him by
I still remember the day
That curved road took him away
Without a chance
To say
Goodbye
Pretty
People always call me pretty
Not funny, not smart
Just pretty
And isn't it the biggest pity
That she'll never be her brother?
And they're right
I'll never be my brother
I'll never win
Like he did all the time
He got those pretty little things
Those pretty little things
To my chagrin
I'm just a cheerleader
Almost past her prime
I'm just a pretty little thing
And that's what I'll always be
Forever
And ever
And ever
