I Grew Up
Ruth Ruth
Laughing Gallery

Bleeding in the dirt yeah
I hear them laughing at me
Though I'm not really hurt no
I'm crying like a baby
The teacher called me mother
And she got very angry
"Good Lord, I've birthed a coward
What will I tell the family now"
Well I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up
3:15 I'm running
From a fourth grade lynch mob
They have a need to hate me
I have a different haircut
The teacher called my father
He got all military
"Good Lord, I've reared a faggot
And I'm afraid he'll look like me"
Well I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up
One day I'll be free
And getting the fuck out of here will be
My revenge
Dump on me I don't care
I'll feed you all my garbage
I've waited my whole life for
A friend like you to want it yeah
I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up
One day I'll be free
And getting the fuck out of here will be
My revenge
My revenge yeah
Oh my revenge
Oh my revenge yeah
Oh my revenge
