Put It out for Good - Sarah Bettens

I hear the rock show winding down at the high school

Kids out on the sidewalk, waiting for a ride

All the punks and the queers and the freaks and the smokers

Feel like they’ll be waiting for the rest of their lives

Alright I hear what you’re saying to me

Alright I hear what I just can’t do

But I got this spark I got to feed it something

Or put it out for good

The stadium lights were breaking through the bleachers

I spent all day pushing tissue roses into chicken wire

Hey S.G.A., I’m an overachiever of the wrong persuasion

A pep rally kid, a new gender nation with a new desire

Alright I hear what you’re saying to me

Alright I hear what I just can’t do

But I got this spark I got to feed it something

Or put it out for good

Rub up against it till it gets inside you

Rub up against it till its understood

Those aren’t your friends that talking shit about you

We’ve had it bad, we’re gonna make it good

Alright I hear what you’re saying to me

(rub up against me till its alright)

Alright I hear what I just can’t do

(rub up against me till its alright)

Now we got this spark, we got to feed it something

(rub up against me and)

Let it burn for good, let it burn for good
