Hardest Button To Button

We started living in an old house
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out
It was a baby boy
So we bought him a toy
It was a ray gun
And it was 1981

We named him `Baby`
He had a tootache
He started crying
It sounded like an earthquake
It didn`t last long
Because I stopped it
I grabbed a rag doll
And stuck some little pins in it

Now we`re a family
And we`re alright now
We got money and a little place
To fight now
We don`t know you
And we don`t owe you
But if you see us around
I got something else to show you

Now it`s easy when you don`t know better
You think it`s sleazy?
Then put it in a short letter
We keep warm
But there`s just something wrong
When you
Just feel like you`re the hardest button to button

I had opinions
That didn`t matter
I had a brain
That felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
With nothing in it
Except a stick
A dog
And a box with something in it

The hardest button to button
