Y Can T They Ever See lyrics

y cant they ever see
that im just tryin to be me
y cant they ever see
that they wont let me be
y cant they ever see
that im just a regular boy
y cant they ever see
that im some wind up toy

now there`s my mom
[such a pain in the neck]
she`s givin me the hardest time of my life
im tellin u dad u need a new wife
she`s always on my back about gettin my work done
its like im on crack and it ant no fun
i dont like to read and i dont know y u care
but that ant a tru reason to pull out ur hair
and if ur wonderin if im smart
i am
then y should i waste my time where all the cows fart

y cant they ever see
that im just tryin to be me
y cant they ever see
that they just wont let me be
y cant they ever see
that im just a regular boy
y cant they ever see
that im not some wind up toy

and of course there`s my dad
i dont know y he thinks im so bad
its cuz i dont dress like him
we dont have nething in common ne more
except for the color of our skin
sometimes he yells at me
like im not a real person
but its not just the noise that gets to me
to me its always about the cursin

y cant they ever see
that im just tryin to be me
y cant they ever see
that they just wont ever let me be
y cant they ever see
that im just a regular boy
y cant they ever see
that im not some wind up toy
