how to be stupid

Folder: 
This Is My Life

i got the sex talk

the how it's not cool to smoke speech

and the how to say no to drugs

lecture

from the t.v. and magazines

and the radio, my so called friends

in sex ed and health class

you tried to protect me

but it only hurt me

you taught me how to be naive

you showed me how to be stupid

you taught me how to be ignorant



i taught myself how to tie my shoes

and clean my room

and make my bed

and ride my bike

because i couldn't wait for you to do it

because you'd just keep doing it for me

and you look funny on a tricycle

you treated me like a baby

and now you still treat me like a baby

no wonder why i'm such a big baby

who can't do anything for myself

you taught me how to be naive

you showed me how to be stupid

you taught me how to be ignorant

you taught me how to be stupid
