Growing Up In Springfield

When I was fourteen I fell in love with her
In metal shop she said "Kaia come pray with me"
We sat on her bed and we held our hands together
She told me I needed God
I told her I just needed her

When I was fifteen I liked to start fires
And I drive my parents truck to the jasper store
Things were out of control
I couldn't stop to see her
There was other ones like me
Were not far from reach

When I was sixteen
She said to me "you have a demon possession"
I said what the fuck does that mean
She said she couldn't be my friend
Those were the worst days of my life
And all the hick boys loved to harass me
So I flaunted my hatred of the flag
My mother cried when I shaved my head
