D A G
On the playground you learned how to share with the kids,
D A G
but you still didn't feel you fit in.
D A G
How fitting your confusion when you turned 16:
D A G A D
you knew how to paint by numbers, but you knew it wasn't rock and roll.
D A G
you learned tight pants, spray paint, and eyeliner.
D A G
you said glam rock would save your soul.
D A
But you couldn't grasp that the rebellion you wanted
G A D
wasn't something you could ever be sold.
E G A
ANd I never understood how someone could be so willing to be
E G A
absorbed into what I never thought could pass as identity.
E G
And I always felt bad for the kids who had to share their faces
D A G
with sad teenagers across the world
D A
who'd found something to fill their loss,
G A D
without ever addressing the cause.
D A
Then I saw your speech patterns imitated exactly
G D
by a girl in seattle and again in minneapolis,
D A G
so i guess you must have learned that from tv.
D A
you said you'd find yourself for real,
G D
but fell that far from the goal.
D A G D
you had to paint by numbers but knew it wasn't r-r-r-rock and roll.
