"Bully's Lament" lyrics - SHAKEY GRAVES

Poor Lanky Lenny was too tall to be lost and found
Too big for the cages at the city pound
Oh what will we do, what will we do for fun and for free
It seems the roads are growing wider and wider most every day
Oh I used to love the drive but now I stay off the lanes
What is the use of looking out if there's nothing to see

[Chorus:]
Oh but somehow we're getting by
Seems a little bit easier to touch the sky
But something was coming for you
Somethings coming for me

Cause' no, no
No, no, no, no we're not like the others
Yeah baby its true, no, no, no
No, no, no, no we're not like the others
And we couldn't be if we wanted to

[Instrumental]

Poor lazy Lauren was too small to go outdoors
Too loud for the neighbors, too slow for the chores
Oh what will she do, oh what will we do for fun and for free
It seems the roads are growing wider and wider most every day
Oh I used to love the drive but now I stay off the lanes
What is the use of standing up if there's nowhere to lean

[Chorus:]
Yeah but somehow we're getting by
Seems a little bit easier to touch the sky
But something was coming for you
Yeah somethings coming for me

Cause' no, no
No, no, no, no we're not like the others
Baby its true, no, no
No, no, no, no we're not like the others
And we couldn't be if we wanted to
Oh my heart

[Outro:]
Yeah cause' you know no
No, no, no, no we're not like the others
Yeah baby its true, no, no
No, no, no, no we're not like the others
Oh and we couldn't be if we wanted to
