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
When you just feel like that 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
