Mecca Normal What About The Boy?
Boy in the dirt
Scraping around for the iron
Six years old
Blue pajamas
Digitalis, foxglove fingers
Heart murmur
What about the boy in the blue pajamas?
She was really fake
She was really fake
She was really fake
He was really negative
He was really negative
They go out to see what they can find
"Let me take a look
At the length of those sleeves
The boy held his arms straight out
"Here, hold your arms down at your side."
What about the boy?
What boy?
They brought the boy home
In shopping cart
Rolling down the street
"No one uses their real name."
Maybe she's too fake to have a name
She's so fake
She's so fake
She's so fake
They brought the boy home
And put him in the dirt
Gave him some ladybugs to play with
"Here, have some ladybugs."
"Nonsense!"
The boy said, "Nonsense! I like dirt!"
"Well, I'll go inside then
You have dirt."
"What about the boy?"
"The boy's fine
The boy's fine
The boy's fine
It's the ladybugs
We're going to have to worry about
The boy's fine
He's got enough dirt."
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
Scraping around --
Scraping around --
Scraping around --
"What if I don't learn anything new?
Anything new?
Anything new?
What I'm just here waiting?
What if there is no teacher and
I'm supposed to learn to be patient?"
They brought the boy home
In a shopping cart
"Look at the length of those sleeves!"
What about the boy reminds you
You're so fake?
You're so fake!
You're so fake!
Does he make your feet hurt in these shoes?
Walking around
Walking around
Walking around in your shoes
Walking around
Walking around
Walking around in your skin
What about about the boy?
What about about the boy?
What about about the boy?
"Your attention please
Send the boy to office."
Your attention please."
The boy turns his head
And looks over his shoulder
The boy smirks and rolls his eyes
"I'm going to get at least 90% on this test
I'm going to be the boy!
I'm the boy!
I'm the boy!"
"Your attention please
Send the boy to office."
What about the boy reminds you of you?
What about the boy
In the dirt?
Popping back ladybugs
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
What about the boy?
