My sister
I hate my sister
She's such a bitch
She acts as though she doesn't even
Know that I exist
But I would do anything
To let her know I care
But I am only talking to myself
'Cause she isn't

My sister
I love my sister
She's the best
She's cooler than any other girl
That I have ever met
She had the greatest man
She had the greatest guy
She's good at everything
And doesn't even try

She's got a wall around her
Nobody can climb
She lets a ladder down
For those who really shine
I tried to scale it
But to me she's blind
So I lit a firecracker
Went off in my eye

I miss my sister
Why'd she go?
She's the one who would have taken me
To my first all-ages show
It was the Violent Femmes
And the Del Fuegos
Before they had a record out
Before they went gold, it start to go

I miss my sister
I miss my sister
I miss my sister
I really miss her
