Stinky Stuff

Once I knew a little girl
Who refused to eat
She just banged her head against the floor and
Didnt sleep for a week
Both of her parents were mentally delayed and they
Lived in constant fear that their daughter would be taken away
So instead of getting help they just pretended
Everything was okay
So I called the social worker and said
Something is wrong, she said
You know how she turns into a brat when she doesnt get what she wants
Ill call you later when Im done playing with my dog
Sometimes the world is dark and cold
And no matter what Im told
Im scared and Im alone and Im five years old
Will you hold my hand?
Once I knew a little guy
Runny nose and bruises on his thighs and I said hey
What happened here
He looked at me and said
Well my dad he hates me
So I called the social worker confidentially
And she called his mom and said
Guess who thinks your husband is beating up your son
Next thing I knew that family packed up
And they were gone
Back pressed flat against the wall
And they hit me with a ball
Pretend it didnt hurt at all
Will you hold my hand?
Maybe Ill call Oprah
There must be something she can do
Ill say Im fat and Im black and Im sick of seeing little kids feel blue
And me and Oprah we will fix CPS
And well make sure that people working with kids have bigger hearts than the rest
And if you want to have a baby
Youll have to past a test
It sucks when for a littlekid living means lying
And the only place you feel safe is pretending your flying
And youd rather be caught dead that be caught crying
Will you hold my hand?
Abuse and neglect are highly contagious so
I called that social worker up and I said
Hey lady youre outrageous
She said smarty pants
You want a gold star?
I said no I wanna bash your head in
With a crowbar
But the cycle of violence has to end somewhere
Come and take a swim with me
Well wait under water patiently
For the output of endorphins as were swallowed by the sea
Will you hold my hand?
Will you hold my hand?
Will you hold my hand?
