I've been stoned in glass houses
I've been alone here with my best friend
I've been shown what I've never known
I've been frightened by the dog at the end of the bone
Betcha never seen a doctor
On the corner selling apples
Like you've never seen a rabbit
Doin easter egg magic
For his talent in the pageant.
If you want someone to help you out
You've gotta let them in
Take a look in my hand, I've got a treat
You can have it all now, the handout's for free
But if I were you, if you were anything like me
I'd want to pay a little cuz I want the real thing
Betcha never seen a preacher
Down beneath the shady bleachers
With the slackers and the flunkies
And the stoners and the junkies
Cuz you know that's where you'll reach us
If you want someone to take your case
You gotta clean your face
