lyrics

Unruly boys and unruly girls
Who bob their heads
And cut their curls
Some Maker’s Mark
Inside of them swirls
And they make their way
Through this sexed-up world

Then the call comes in
On a Monday morn
Seems daddy’s on the milkbox
Since the day they was born
So send out the guards
Call MacArthur to arms
They’d hear nothing if they’d heed
All of mother’s alarms

So the cry comes down
From the top of the stairs
They’re all lacquered in stickiness
And just over there
There’s young-haired girl
Over a curly haired boy
So they’ve found their way
To a brand new joy

See, it’s nobody’s tune
But it’s somebody’s song

Unruly boys and unruly girls
Who make their way
Through this screwed-up world
If they don’t settle down
They’re a story to tell
And they’ll soon have a milkbox
To bid their farewell

It’s nobody’s tune
But it’s somebody’s song
