Long Jon Silver by The Happy Children Lyrics

I pulled your leg with every rope that I found inside our two car garage with intention to receive attention
I just want to be the one
Everybody's favorite son

Wake up the next day yawning off bad dreams of rejection from my friends
The praise that I weaseled in has gone away and left me gray
I am in a funk today

When I was pretty young I'd put on thongs of my mom's matter of fact heals too and parade into the living room
Everybody'd laugh and say "tension eased another day"
But now I am strapped into a car seat of sorts, drivers definitely not my mom and I'm feeling at home already

I just want to be the one
Everybody's favorite son

You should be afraid of me
It's just that I'm not ugly

Long Jon Silver had his long Jon swinging in my face which made me wanna start a franchise of my own
I'd call it something clever but expressive like his and I would sell it for a gazillion dollars
Later I'd find that the money I made was counterfeit. I couldn't even buy a friend
Jesus Christ must've known something that I don't because he seems to make a lotta money
Ohh ohh ohh
Ohh ohh ohh

You should be afraid of me
It's just that I'm not ugly
