The Hardest Button To Button



Lyrics

We started living in an old house
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
It was a baby boy
So we bought him a toy
It was a ray gun
And it was 1981
We named him ‘Baby’
He had toothache
He started crying
It sounded like an earthquake
It didn’t last long
Because I stopped it
I grabbed a rag doll
And stuck some little pins in it
Now we’re a family
And we’re alright now
We got money and a little place to fight now
We don’t know you
And we don’t owe you
But if you see us around
I got something else to show you

Now it’s easy when you don’t know better
You think it’s sleazy
Then put it in a short letter
We keep warm
But there’s just something wrong when you
Just feel like that you’re the hardest little button to button

I had opinions
That didn’t matter
I had a brain
That felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
With nothing in it
Except a stick
A dog
And a box with something in it

The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
DA HA-DES BUH-EN TA BUH-EN, AAHHH OWWW
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
