Child Psychology

I stopped talking when I was six years old
 I didn't want anything more to do with the outside world
 I was happy being quiet
 But, of course, they wouldn't leave me alone
 
 My parents tried every trick in the book
 From speech therapists to child psychologists
 They even tried bribery
 I could have anything
 As long as I said it out loud

 Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
 Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
 Of course this episode didn't last forever
 I'd made my point and it was time to move on
 To peel away the next layer of deceit
 And see what new surprises lay in store

 My school report said I showed no interest
 "A disruptive influence"
 I felt sorry for them in a way
 And when they finally expelled me
 It didn't mean a thing

 Life is unfair, kill yourself or get over it
 At that time she stopped what she was doing, she stopped playing
 She stared, she had the facial grimacing
 And then the psychiatrist was saying
 "Julie, Julie, can you hear me? Can you open your eyes?"
 "Can you stick out your tongue?"
 And all of a sudden, Julie struck out
 The November day I came home
 The Christmas decorations were already up
 Spray on snow, colored flashing lights
 And an artificial tree that played Silent Night
 Over and over again
 
 My parents welcomed me with loving arms
 But within an hour were back at each others throats
 Normal, happy childhood back on course
 Batteries not included
