Parenthetical Girls - Evelyn McHale (Reprise) lyrics

Alas, we never stood a chance Bedsit solipsistic misfits We petulant pains in the a** Dreams like this, they're just not built to last The breast-fed & too well-fed Left we two completely out-cla**ed We gave this the best years of our lives & truth is, with all due deference I can't see why we'd be surprised "This kid can't sing to save his life... Too stiff & dead pretentious" I bet you get this all the time Forgive this casual aside & with it this filthy witness That I so love to hide behind Come now kid, don't look so surprised The truth is, these thighs I ply Tend to wait for the whites of your eyes Oh no, there I've said it again & I'm fine to serve my time For libelous rhymes I've since spread Some things are better left unsaid You've had your fun, but surely son No one's holding a gun to your head How long must we be strung along? False starts & broken hearts I suppose that you've known all along Where did we ever go so wrong? My voice is shot, but I'll sing to the lot God give me strength to go on
