Liz Phair - Help Me Mary lyrics

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
