Kicked Out Of Kindergarten

(앨범: Subliminable Messages - 2004)

Outside of Vons Gabrielle and I crouched
Behind her dad's Plymouth Duster sharing Ding Dongs
With chocolate smeared on both our chins and noses
Her Dad wore a frown as he dragged me in to say sorry
To the manager who made me walk around in shiny handcuffs
He grabbed the microphone announced my story

No longer drawing on the wall or pooping in the trash can
A three-year-old red-handed thief and anyone could guess

Someday I'd get kicked out
Kicked out of kindergarten
Kicked out

I started school saw the principal for crimes
Like blowing bubbles in milk or having mud fights
Or spitting on blonde braided Karen Edwards
"Next time you'll get swats," he growled I'd be good for a week
Until one day, the red plastic box said "pull" I had to pull it
The ringing bells poured kids out every building

The office lady cried out "There's a family that's burning
While all the fire trucks race here to douse your false alarm."

That day I was kicked out
Kicked out of kindergarten
Kicked out
Kicked out of kindergarten
Kicked out
Kicked out of kindergarten
Kicked out
Of kindergarten

Is it my genes?
Or some faulty wiring in my head?
Maybe mom skipped church one week when she was sixteen
And I'm her punishment
Her punishment, her punishment

All through my schools every teacher knew my name
On the first day of class I learned the paddle
Hung on the office wall was not symbolic
At ten voted president but then impeached for a peace
Sign I flashed in the 6th grade panoramic student photo
I got 3 days to contemplate my outlook

My Mom told me repent and read The Miracle of Forgiveness
But how could I start fresh and join upright society?

I knew I was kicked out
Kicked out of kindergarten
Kicked out
Kicked out of kindergarten
Kicked out
Kicked out of kindergarten
Kicked out
Of kindergarten
