Stupid Kid

I think this place is swell

There's much familiar here

I get my laundry done

And I get home-cooked meals

When I'm feeling tired

I can turn off all the lights

Ignore the knocking on the door

Pretend I'm not alive

Daddy, it's Saturday

And I don't want to go outside

And mow the grass today

Would you love me just as much

If I was just your stupid kid

Would you love me just as much

If I was just your stupid kid

They tell me that I'm bright

Sometimes I think they're right

But I guess I'll never know

'Cause I won't go outside

Some days it's just so hot

And others it's so cold

Too much exposure to the sun

Would just make me look old

Isn't this Saturday

Sure feels like Saturday

Wake me Saturday

Daddy, it's Saturday

And my mind wanders off

To things I've never seen

Are these walls higher than the cost of opportunity

I'm too big for my bed

And I've outgrown my shoes

But my fear of leaving

Is the one thing I just can't lose

Daddy, it's Saturday

And I don't want to go outside

And mow the grass today

Would you love me just as much

If I never got a job

And if I never left your house

Would I be of use to you

If I never amounted to much more

Than just your stupid kid

Would you love me just as much

If I was just your stupid kid
