LIZ PHAIR - Help Me, Mary lyrics

rate me

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