I wish I knew how to please you Be what you wanted So I could be none of it You sicken me With your callous words Burning rubber until someone Takes the hit Moves out of range Nasty smell You make it hell To disagree Never hesitate to tell me Exactly what you think Yeah, I’m lying awake in bed Wondering what I’ll ever do With a million words to say But never getting started Cut me off at the first syllable What’s wrong, what’s wrong When will I start to shake Always say what I think But here are opinions I actually care about And I choke them down again At the worst of times Break it down Move in stereo Want to show you what I am But bravery is overrated And you have taught me time and again I am a Pritchett Not a dreamer

Burning Rubber
I wish I knew how to please you Be what you wanted So I could be none of it You sicken me With your callous words Burning rubber until someone Takes the hit Moves out of range Nasty smell You make it hell To disagree Never hesitate to tell me Exactly what you think Yeah, I’m lying awake in bed Wondering what I’ll ever do With a million words to say But never getting started Cut me off at the first syllable What’s wrong, what’s wrong When will I start to shake Always say what I think But here are opinions I actually care about And I choke them down again At the worst of times Break it down Move in stereo Want to show you what I am But bravery is overrated And you have taught me time and again I am a Pritchett Not a dreamer
