She's got pimples on her nose
Ballet blisters on her toes
Her mother says, "that's just how life goes"
Dinner time sit up straight
Frozen fish sticks on her plate
Here mother screams, "we're running late... get in the car!"
It doesn't pay for her to cry
So she takes it all in stride
That's how a kid gets by
Suburban life
Her brothers barge into her room
Steal her backpack and her shoes
Her mother sighs, "what do you want me to do?"
It doesn't pay for her to cry
So she takes it all in stride
That's how a kid gets by
That's how this kid gets by
Suburban life
