Parental Guidance - Margaret Glaspy

Wake up, it’s early morning

Fall in love with the shit town you were born in

Make friends with kiddies you can’t relate to

And play it, play it cool in the schoolyard, so that nobody hates you

It’s for your own good

Won’t have you misunderstood

Oh it’s about time you started to try a little harder

Don’t you think?

It’s about time you started to try a little harder

Don’t you think?

It’s about time you started to try a little harder

Don’t you think?

It’s about time

And you’re swell, just as God made you

But we could brace your teeth and change a thing or two

And it’s a long road out on your own

Run with the pack, baby, don’t do it alone

It’s for your own good

Won’t have you misunderstood

Oh it’s about time you started to try a little harder

Don’t you think?

It’s about time you started to try a little harder

Don’t you think?

It’s about time you started to try a little harder

Don’t you think?

It’s about time

You wanna talk about what hurts bad

And why you’d rather sink than swim

Somebody threw a punch again

And didn’t catch your name
