Poor Little Patty

Since the first grade of private school
Patty Hearsh made people pay attention
Got the worst grades, the lowest of low
But she had the deepest pockets in all of San Francisco
Imagine you're Patty
Privileged and pretty
Poor little Patty
You can't plan plan plan plan plan anymore
A life so blasé
One day who's at her Berkley apartment
Hippies with guns to take her away
Knock, knock, knock
Who's there? Who's there?
Patty went bad with the ring of her door
Knock, knock, knock
Who's there? Who's there?
You can't plan, plan, plan, plan, plan anymore
For the first shot of the nightly news
Patty Hearsh got everybody thinking
And the worst thoughts spinning through my head
Those urban gorillas should've snatched me instead
I wanna be Patty
I need an intervention
Why can't I be Patty
I'm drawing a blank
While I'm doing time in a sleepy ol' suburb
Patty did time for robbing a bank
Knock, knock, knock
Who's there? Who's there?
Patty went bad with the bang at her door
Knock, knock, knock
Who's there? Who's there?
You can't plan, plan, plan, plan, plan anymore
Day to day
Day to day
Home alone
Home alone
I'm stuck or I'm stalling
Unlocked door
Unlocked door
Unlocked door
Willing girl
Willing girl
And no one comes calling
Pick me up
Lock me up
I would've insisted
Change my name
Show the world
A girl they never knew existed
A girl they never knew existed
A girl they never knew existed
Knock, knock, knock
Who's there? Who's there?
Patty went bad with a knock at her door
Knock, knock, knock
Who's there? Who's there?
You can't plan, plan, plan, plan, plan, anymore
