lyrics

Do your chores, go to school, child stay in line,
Keep your thoughts to yourself and you'll be just fine.
Never shout, never once make your parents snap,
Always seen, never heard, yeah just shut your trap.
Opinions mean as much as nothing in this household,
Sit at the table, eat your food and do as you're told.
Want in one hand, shit in the other, see what fills first,
What if I told you nursery rhymes were written to pervert?

Like I'm a little teapot, short and stout,
Fuck shit up and then walk out!

My shrink tells me I'm a nutjob,
That I'm too crazy to play.
It all stems from childhood,
The grown ups made me this way.
My innocence is so long dead,
Ripped from my head in young days.
It all stems from childhood,
Rebellion was a phase
(but how I'm broken now).

Wipe your face, make up off, you look like a queer,
No you don't have a style, long as you live here.
Stand up straight when you speak, child don't you slack,
Don't you dare make that face, are you answering back?
Your cries will get you all of nowhere in this damn home,
Get used to your shadow cos you are all alone.
Write in your diary all you want, they will read it,
If there's a God you'll be away one day from this shit.

Like I'm a little teapot, short and sick,
When I grow up you can suck my dick!

They can't, they won't, they don't love you.
They will, they must, only judge you.
Stay out, stay quiet, stay in your room.
Don't whine, don't shine, your time is soon.
They can't, they won't, they don't love you.
They will, they must, only judge you.
Stay out, stay quiet, stay in your room.
They'll never hear, they'll never know, it's they who made you broken inside!
