We Are All Accelerated Readers

(album: Hold On Now, Youngster... - 2008)

I was sick in my mouth because of the fear of the scent of an ex-girlfriend
And no more conversations about what Breakfast Club character you'd be
I'd be the one that dies (no-one dies)
Well then what's the point?

You should have built have a statue, and so I did of you
And you were ungrateful and slightly offended at the dimensions of it
You said you looked less like the Venus de Milo, and more like your mother in a straight jacket
I think it's great that you're doing fine now, but enough is enough
And I've had enough

Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house

You should have built a wall
You should have built a wall

And I'm not Bonnie Tyler, and I'm not Toni Braxton
And this song is not gonna save your relationship
Oh, no... shit!
And this sentimental movie marathon has taught us one thing:
It's the opposite of true love is as follows:
Reality!

You should have built a wall, not a bridge
(Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house)
You should have built a wall, not a bridge

Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house
Since we became accelerated readers, we never leave the house.
