Growing Up In Springfield Lyrics - Singles - Team Dresch

When I was fourteen 

I fell in love with her 

In metal shop 

She said Kaia come pray with me 

So we sat on her bed 

And we held our hands together 

She told me I needed god 

I told her I just needed her 

When I was fifteen 

I liked to start fires 

And drive my parents truck 

To the Jasper store 

Things were out of control 

I couldn't stop to see 

The others, the ones like me 

Were not far from reach 

When I was sixteen 

She said to me 

You have a demon possession 

I said what the fuck does that mean? 

She said she couldn't be my friend 

Those were the worst years of my life 

And all the hick boys loved to harass me 

So I flaunted my 

Hatred of the flag 

My mother cried 

When I shaved my head
