Mercury in Second Grade

Red flowers on your wallpaper wall
Don't make sense, you don't like 'em at all
Hit “record,” leave it on all day
Huge stack of tape gonna get in your way
Ease on out, come on outta there
I won't be a traitor, I will only play fair
I'll only play fair

And life gets cold when fools get bold
I understand it hurts your heart
All the fools are throwing shade
Mercury in second grade

We gotta wear life lightly
We gotta stay cool
Stand and survive the cowardly cruel
Aim a quick kick at the barricade

Understand it hurts your heart
Whеn the fiery plot is played
Mеrcury in second grade

Phone addicts
Settling scores
Y'all oughta keep your phone in your drawers

Raw emotion
Muddling truth
Hooked on trash they were fed in their youth

I thought I should be trying
To understand the minds
Of those who feel so differently
From me

Let's give the booze a miss
My brain can't take a drug
Much later for a kiss
I think I need a hug

I seemed like a guy
Ready to leap from the shadows and cry
In full armor
Clamoring for megaphones
In hoarse stirring tones
In loud passion moans

I think we should be trying
To understand the minds
Of those who feel so differently...

I left my fresh O’s in the pen
My I’s for dotting
I left them rotting

Let's hear it for your heart
All the squabbly talk'll fade
