I know you're pleased You think you've made it harder to breathe But you're not in the way I think we're getting better each day Because we were aligned Our novels kept us close and confined But then you made your move We were slowly getting stuck up Just to prove Surely, you'll see These books have torn the heart right out of me But I have not come To show you how the beast in me has won I thought I came to help I thought I came to send you back to school I thought I came to try To try to talk some sense right into you But you're not from around here And we were born to bleed The friends you think you've found here Are not the friends you need I think you're out of line If you think you're growing up It's funny now we're older And you're the one whose stuck Surely, you see These books have torn the heart right out of me But I have not come To show you how the beat in me has won I thought I came to help I thought I came to send you back to school I thought I came to try To try to talk some sense right into you
