Liz Phair — Help Me Mary lyrics

Lyrics

Help me mary, please
IЂ™ve lost my home to your thieves
They bully the stereo and drink
They leave suspicious stains in the sink
They make rude remarks about me They wonder just how wild I would be As they egg me on and keep me mad
They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that
I lock my door at night
I keep my mouth shut tight
I practice all my moves
I memorize their stupid rules
I make myself their friend
I show them just how far I can bend
As they egg me on and keep me mad
They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that
IЂ™m asking, dear mary please
Temper my hatred with peace
Weave my disgust into fame
And watch how fast they run to the flame
