The Hardest Button To Button

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 didn't last long
Because I stopped it
I grabbed a rag doll
And stuck some little pins in it

Now we're a family
And we're alright now
We got money
And a little place to fight now

We don't know you
And we don't owe you
But if you see us around
I got something else to show you

Now it's easy
When you don't know better
You think it's sleazy
Then put it in a short letter

We keep warm
But there's just something wrong when you
Just feel like
You're the hardest little button to button

I had opinions
That didn't 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
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button, oh oh

The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button, oh oh
The hardest button to button

The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button
The hardest button to button, oh oh
