i was made fragile by a quiet home
i was made aggressive being all alone
my ears have been ringing since i was born
my legs are full of fluid and are easily torn
my mother tries to change me every year
self-improvement days go right out my ears
forget trying to teach me anything
i learn, i yearn, i try many things.

all my life i've been taught that change is bad
drugs and smokes and alcohol will only make me sad
all my life i've been taught against ever having sex
not by people - by experience - only from the best

i was made quiet by a fragile home
i was made angry by a broken bone
i've been known to scratch until i cause a bruise, and
i hate to play your games because i always lose
nowadays i'm driven only by caffeine
when i'm tired all that i can do is scream
i was born in cold and i was born so weak
and now i can't control my urge to never speak

all my life i've been taught that change is bad
drugs and smokes and alcohol will only make me sad
all my life i've been taught against ever having sex
not by people - by experience - only from the best

when i hear your voice, i wanna tear it out
when i hear you yell at me i have to shout
my life is what i'm all about

all my life i've been taught that change is bad
drugs and smokes and alcohol will only make me sad
all my life i've been taught against ever having sex
not by people - by experience - only from the best

i don't know who you think i am, now you know who i hate to be
i don't know why i do what i do, but now i know i could never be you

i was made malicious by misogyny
everyone i see is always dead to me
i was made androgynous by my tv
now you have a taste of what's been bugging me.
