Best Friend's Kids

I don't wanna be the perfect model daughter
And I don't want a hand in helping with the slaughter
Of a special mind
Of a special kind
If she lives to be strange, I'll be the one that taught her

I just wanna be a bad influence
On all my best friends kids
An auntie to the weird ones
I just wanna be a bad influence
On all those wanting more
The bottom of the rung, that want so to belong

I'll never be the one to duplicate myself
But that don't mean that I can't help the ones already on the shelf
They think they're ready
They're keeping steady
But I will bang the walls and catch the falling wealth

I just wanna be a bad influence
On all my best friends kids
An auntie to the weird ones
I just wanna be a bad influence
On all those wanting more
The bottom of the rung, that want so to belong

Water all the flowers covered thick in thorns
Hold them close and don't mind if your skin is torn
They will build a forest, high as you can see
Try to pull them down and they will make you bleed

I just wanna be a bad influence
On those who feel alone
Whose way they need to own
I just wanna know that I've done my part
Cos it will swell my heart
To help you get your start

I just wanna be a bad influence
On all my best friends kids
An auntie to the weird ones
I just wanna be a bad influence
On all those wanting more
The bottom of the rung, that want so to belong
