Help me, Mary, please

I've lost my home to thieves

They bully the stereo and drink

They leave suspicious stains in the sink



They make rude remarks about me

They wonder just how wild I would be

As they egg me on and keep me mad

They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that...



I lock my door at night

I keep my mouth shut tight

I practice all my moves

I memorize their stupid rules



I make myself their friend

I'll show them just how far I can bend

As they egg me on and keep me mad

They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that...



I'm asking you, Mary, please

Temper my hatred with peace

Weave my disgust into fame

And watch how fast they run to the flame
