First Tooth

Sleeping with a time bomb attached to my brain

I laid right down on top of it but I felt no pain

Wasted no time, jumping in line

For the suffering

Parents said pretty words about my hopes and dreams

I wished on a shiny star for the finer things

All gone to waste but it gave me a taste

For the suffering

It’s like your first loose tooth

Nobody’s gonna pull that for you

Nobody’s gonna tell you the truth

So put it under your pillow, baby

'Cause everyone will start believing the day you do

They say bubblegum gets nasty if you chew too long

But you better be careful who you’re calling wrong

Double your fun, do it over and over and over

Until you're damn well, wanna be done, have fun

Just like your first loose tooth

Nobody’s gonna pull that for you

Nobody’s gonna tell you the truth

So put it under your pillow, baby

'Cause everyone will start believing the day you do

Check, one, two

I’ll tell you something true, then I’ll tell you something false

Not everybody’s born with those big brass balls

The future will provide you with whatever you need

I think we all know that one is the stupidest thing

Guess we’re told that as kids and then they wonder why we're pissed

We didn’t end up gorgeous, famous and rich

Baby, life is pain, but change starts with you

Why don’t you check around and find something loose?

Like your first loose tooth

Nobody’s gonna pull that for you

Nobody’s gonna tell you the truth

So put it under your pillow, baby

'Cause everyone will start believing

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Believing, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh, double your fun

Double your fun

Double your fun

Until you're damn well, wanna be done
