Dear Dad

You say that I’m too young

That I’m lazy

But I think you’re crazy

You threw the pitch and I swung

I wish I hadn’t because it stung

You say that I don’t know a thing

But since when were you voted king

And now the bell has rung

I act older than you think I am

I know more about this family

I can’t forget the past

I can take more than a battering ram

Not everything I’ve done is a tragedy

Your lies hit like an icy blast
