We Are All Accelerated Readers
I was sick in my mouth
Because of the fear of the scent
Of the next girlfriend
And there were conversations
About what Breakfast Club character you'd be
I'd be the one that dies
No one dies
Well then what's the point?
You should have built a statue
And so I did of you
And you were ungrateful and slightly offended
At the dimensions of the thing
You said you looked less like the Venus de Milo
And more like your mother in a straight jacket
I think it's great that you're doing fine now
But enough is enough and I've had enough
Since we became accelerated readers,
We never leave the house
You should have built a wall
You should have built a wall
And I'm not Bonnie Tyler
And I'm not Toni Braxton
And this song is not gonna save your relationship
Oh, no shit!
And this sentimental movie marathon has taught us one thing
It's the opposite of true love is as follows, reality
You should have built a wall, not a bridge
(Since we became accelerated readers
We never leave the house)
You should have built a wall, not a bridge
Since we became accelerated readers
We never leave the house
Since we became accelerated readers
We never leave the house
Because of the fear of the scent
Of the next girlfriend
And there were conversations
About what Breakfast Club character you'd be
I'd be the one that dies
No one dies
Well then what's the point?
You should have built a statue
And so I did of you
And you were ungrateful and slightly offended
At the dimensions of the thing
You said you looked less like the Venus de Milo
And more like your mother in a straight jacket
I think it's great that you're doing fine now
But enough is enough and I've had enough
Since we became accelerated readers,
We never leave the house
You should have built a wall
You should have built a wall
And I'm not Bonnie Tyler
And I'm not Toni Braxton
And this song is not gonna save your relationship
Oh, no shit!
And this sentimental movie marathon has taught us one thing
It's the opposite of true love is as follows, reality
You should have built a wall, not a bridge
(Since we became accelerated readers
We never leave the house)
You should have built a wall, not a bridge
Since we became accelerated readers
We never leave the house
Since we became accelerated readers
We never leave the house
