In the town of your youth On some famous road or boulevard or lane Theres a lilac tree named after you An unfamiliar child gets to see it bloom He rides in his mothers car Its as big as hell And theyre on their way Line em up to be replaced! In the house lived a dog Not a healer or a saint Hes warm the house with his welcome wag But in his howl, id hear him say, i want to run away. Where is he now? He left us alone He has a new home Hes gone What were you protecting us from anyway? Line em up to be replaced! My teacher in the second grade taught us the names of all the presidents and states But after a summer away, she forgot ours Where is she now? With kids half our age They cant know theyre about to be wound and then let go They wind you up and then let you go All my friends i cant wait to quit Whos the next one on the list? All my friends i cant wait to leave and i wont stand for it I wont get used to it Follow me out the door
