Liz Phair - Help Me, Mary Lyrics
Help me mary, pleaseIve lost my home to your thievesThey bully the stereo and drinkThey leave suspicious stains in the sinkThey make rude remarks about meThey wonder just how wild I would beAs they egg me on and keep me madThey play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for thatI lock my door at nightI keep my mouth shut tightI practice all my movesI memorize their stupid rulesI make myself their friendI show them just how far I can bendAs they egg me on and keep me madThey play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for thatIm asking, dear mary pleaseTemper my hatred with peaceWeave my disgust into fameAnd watch how fast they run to the flame
