Precious Little Miracles

Kids, it’s hard to comprehend them

Everybody knows it’s true

Kids, we’ll never understand them

No matter what we do

Take the kids around here

For instance, if you will

They drive around looking for people to kill

Not even for the money

But rather for the thrill

Oh, kids, they can be a handful

Kids, with their pants around their hipbones

Who wears their pants like that?

Come here kids, let me hitch up your britches

And while we’re at it, let’s fix that hair

So your school is a joke, and you’ll always be poor

And your pleas to the rich have been heard and ignored

Is that what all you crazy kids are so upset for?

Come on now, there’s still fun things to do here

For instance, we could go down to the park and

Pick up all the garbage that’s layin’ around

Or maybe, we could work a bunch of skits up

And perform them for the people in town

You know this life is such a joy for so many of us

We can’t take too much of your push come to shove us

What we need all you kids to do is buckle down and love us

Come on kids, buckle down and love us
