We couldn't be scary, coming from urban settings
where the wrong words could get you buried.

Parents couldn't afford college or a funeral,
yet definitely sure "the army" will pay for it for you.

Could of been Norman Bates, yet his Felix Unger resemblances...
were remembered. What a childhood, had to train to not be your monster.

Couldn't be your sponsor, find a soup kitchen.
Tired of giving the beer money to you,  I should be drinking with.

Calculating the panhandlers earning potential, then realizing
I'm the one that's overqualified, yet how much is he making?
