Only Child

When dad first told me you were a girl

I saw that everything made sense

Because how long has your hair curled

Down shoulders in apart-a-ments

But now you will not go outside

Because you fear the judgment

I'm waiting for the day you die

In small town by the government

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

I know you do not want to come

To family dinners with the aunts,

But when grandpa calls you grandson

I need you there to make me laugh

And when my friends don't understand

I cannot pretend that I do

But I don't really need to know

Because it wouldn't change you

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

You wear his clothes

You read his poems

You hate them too

You smoke his weed

Cover with sleeves

The same old grooves

You wear his clothes

You read his poems

You hate them too

You smoke his weed

So much of me

I got from you

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no

Oh no no no no
