Hardest Button To Button lyrics

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 toothache

He started crying

It sounded like an earthquake

It didnt last long

Because I stopped it

I grabbed a rag doll

And stuck some little pins in it

Now were a family

And were alright now

We got money and a little place

To fight now

We dont know you

And we dont owe you

But if you see us around

I got something else to show you

Now its easy when you dont know better

You think its sleazy?

Then put it in a short letter

We keep warm

But theres just something wrong when you

Just feel like youre the hardest little button

To button

I had opinions

That didnt 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(x7)
