Why I Say No

Back when I was young
I thought it was clever
To stand up like my mama
My head up like I mean it
And if I cross my legs
Will I be like the others ?
And if I stand up straight
Will I climb, climb, climb?
To the top
Where Im not
Thats why I say no
Thats why I say no
Thats why I say no
I guess Im just insane
Yeah, Im told Ive got no brain
If I smile, Ill be perfect
Then Ill die with purpose
Ill force my smile
Ill fix my hair
Clean up my house
Shut up right now
Ill think about the good Ive done
Say 'yes' and breathe when I am done
And if I cross my legs
Will I be like the others?
And if I stand up straight
Will I climb, climb, climb?
To the top
Where Im not
To the top
Where Im not
