Never Get To Know

I'll never get to know my friend Steven

He thought he found an answer

He was my firend since kindergarden

And then I watched him disappear.

I'll never get to know my friend Mellisa

She had a baby when she was sixteen

And now she works in a mall in Florida

Sometimes I wonder who she could have been.

I'll never get to know my mom's friend Bonnie

She's the one who made me want to be an artist

She could paint the prettiest pictures

until both her lungs collapsed.

I'll never get to know my mom's friend Harry

He had a low scrattchy growl of a voice

He sing "make me an angel that flies from montgomery"

And then he drank himself to death

I'll never get to know my sister

Because my sister is a crack head

But thank God I remember

When she was just a little kid

I'll never get to know my dad

Because my dad lives in a dream

And even though I think he's the best

He seems so far from everything

And I'll never get to know my mom

Because my mom is an alcholic

And I bet when she was young

She never saw it coming

You might wonder why I'm an asshole

I wonder I'm so uptight

I wonder why I just don't chill out

And learn how to have a good time

But sometimes I'm scared right out of my mind

And sometimes I just get angry

Because I've been let down by the people that I love

But I will not let down the people who love me.
