The Hardest Button To Button

We started living in an old house

My ma gave birth and we were checking it out

It was a baby boy

So we bought him a toy

It was a ray gun

And it was 1981

We named him Baby

He had a toothache

He started crying

It sounded like an earthquake

It didn't last long

Because I stopped it

I grabbed a rag doll

And stuck some little pins in it

Now we're a family

And we're alright now

We got money

And a little place to fight now

We don't know you

And we don't owe you

But if you see us around

I got something else to show you

Now it's easy

When you don't know better

You think it's sleazy?

Then put it in a short letter

We keep warm

But there's just something wrong with you

Just feel like you're the hardest little button to button

I had opinions

That didn't matter

I had a brain

That felt like pancake batter

I got a backyard

With nothing in it

Except a stick

A dog

And a box with something in it

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button
