I like my lego's and my lincoln logs

my action figures and my comic books

I build a fort and then go and read them in the summer time

Today I think I'll make a cool character

she'll wear a big coat with electric fur

she'll have the power she'll make you cower when I roll the dice



DON'T SEEM LIKE LONG AGO I HUNG OUT WITH G.I. JOE

AND WON MY LITTLE WARS IN MY BACK YARD

NOW ALL THAT NAME MEANS TO ME IS A SOBER CUP OF REALITY

THAT WAKES ME UP AND DRAGS ME THROUGH ANOTHER DAY



Scratchin' a name in a heart in a tree

then telling my friends that she's with me

I got your letter

this is forever or until fourth grade

I ask my mom if I can go out and play

she says my room's a mess and I gotta stay

Young man you're grounded

I'm so astounded what you put me through



DON'T SEEM LIKE LONG AGO I HUNG OUT WITH G.I. JOE

AND WON MY LITTLE WARS IN MY BACK YARD

NOW ALL THAT NAME MEANS TO ME IS A SOBER CUP OF REALITY

THAT WAKES ME UP AND DRAGS ME THROUGH ANOTHER DAY



God I love this feeling

six years of meaning and the thoughts they come and go

Can't have this way of living nothin' to believe in not anymore
