Before I Left, After I Got Back

I squint at the clouds and wait for the next bus
If I had a dime, okay maybe a quarter
For every awful thought
I'd buy us a house somewhere in the South
I'd tell off your boss, maybe get you fired
We'd never look back

I've never felt better, you've never felt worse
Well, so what?
I never feel better, you never feel bad
Well, so what?

It's stronger than girls, It's colder than boys
It's queerer than you and I combined
It's crueler than death and colder than life
It's meaner than us

It's gay like Dad
It's torturing Mom
Forgotten like both
It's judgements that stick
It's doctors who kill
It's patterns that won't repeat again
