On the playground

Back in my youthful years

Boys were running around

Pulling on the girls’ hair

They mess with me

They best be aware

I was rough

I was tough

I didn’t take nothing

Off of anyone

Growing up with

An alcoholic daddy

It taught me well

He had me ready

My mind ain’t built

Like no other girls

Ain’t no rainbows

And daisies in my world

I don’t want to be bothered

I keep all to myself

I got no reason for love

I got no need for love

I don’t want anybody to love

Growing up with

A rock-solid heart

Had me walking

Backwards in the dark

When I see the

Sun and moon in the sky

I see nothing

But the end of the world

I’m telling you

I ain’t no normal girl

Chorus: A wasted youth

Is what they used to say

Whoever wrote that song

Was talking about me

Cuz I been fucked up

Since the age of three

I’ve been knocked down

I’ve been shot down

I’ve been struck down

But I be damned if

They’ll keep me down

Abnormal, abnormal

I got no reason to be normal

All the girls want to be pretty

I got my black nail polish on

I got my black lipstick on

And I dare the teachers

To send me home

Got a scuffed knee

You’ll get no crying from me

Stop that whining

Stop that crying

Ain’t got shit to complain about

If you ain’t dying

To me the world spins backward

To me it’s everybody else

Who’s awkward

I don’t need no relationship

Lonely? Huh?

Get away from me

With that shit

I don’t want anyone

Got no love for anyone

Chorus: A wasted youth...

All of your societal bullshit

Keep it away from me

I don’t want to go to your barbecues

I don’t want to be cool with you

Want me to go hang out at a club?

As old as I am

My ass would look pretty dumb

Just go away from me

Fuck you and your society

Chorus: A wasted youth...

Abnormal, abnormal

Just because I’m alone

Don’t mean I’m homo

Abnormal, abnormal

I ain’t never been really social

Abnormal, abnormal

I’ll be, I’ll be

I’ll be, I’ll be

Abnormal, abnormal

Chorus: A wasted youth...

Abnormal, abnormal

Da, da, da, da, da

Abnormal, abnormal

Just go on and leave me alone

Abnormal, abnormal

Da, da, da, da, da

Abnormal, abnormal

Just leave me here in my home
