Afterschool Special
I've watched too much television,
afterschool specials with a heart
I want to be that desperate child
who tears everyone�s world apart
What symptom is required
to show you that I'm sick
this isn't �nothing�, I'm not just tired
and it can't be patched up quick?
How I envy all the drama girls
who know which game to play
so the whole world has no doubt
but I would never have to say
I want Dr. Save-the-world
to come rushing to my side
I want someone to pull me out
So I can run and hide
I want someone to want to save me
more than I want to be saved
I want it to be someone else's fault
if I'm ever ill-behaved
Then between all the commercials
and before the hour's through
I could have my happy ending
and I'd owe it all to you
