First they made me sleep in the closet (laughter)
First they made me sleep in the closet (awwwwwww)
Then they made me sleep out in the hall
when i got a little bit older,
they made me sleep against the wall (aww)
Then i was so young and tender (ohhhh)
But now im oh so big and hard, ah oh (awww)
And now that im a little bit older
I've got to sleeps in the backyard
When he was just about three
All the girls would fight to see
Who could hold him on their knee
But now it's plain to see
Now that he's big and hard
He's got to stay in the backyard
He had a job and got fired
And ohh the ground is so hard
And i'm so sure someday
Some pretty girl will come his way
And then his mama would say
Boys and girls, you don't play
And it's so plain to see
What his mama wants him to be
Locked and not to be free
To play with you or me
Now ill sleep out in the graveyard (ohhhhh)
Seem my mama up and died (laugher, yea)
Now ill just lay round her tombstone
Scratching peace symbols in the side
I'm scratching peacesymbols in your tombstone
Scratching peacesymbols in your mind
I like to know how to get there
I like to know how to get there
Can't you heard ohh can't you hear a tear as i'm
Scratching peacesymbols in your tombstone
Scratching peacesymbols in your mind
I like to know how to get there
I like to know how to get there
The only thing you know is what they told you
The only thing you know is what they said
They showed you by their actions
That all was true and real was dead
But i'm scratching peacesymbols in your tombstone
Scratching peacesymbols in your mind
I like to know how to get there
I like to know how to get there
My mama told me, just what she said
Stay away from them girls and my bed
But the women with her thoughts is all dead
Cuz there's a cloud of led in her head
I'm scratching peacesymbols in your tombstone
Scratching peacesymbols in your mind
