We started living in an old house  
My ma gave birth and we were checking it out  
It was a baby boy, so we bought him a toy  
It was a ray gun and it was 1981  
We named him Baby, he had a toothache  
He started crying, it sounded like an earthquake  
It didn't last long because I stopped it  
I grabbed a rag doll and stuck some little pins in it  
Now we're a family and we're alright now  
We got money and a little place to fight now  
We don't know you and we don't owe you  
But if you see us around I got something else to show you  
Now it's easy when you don't know better  
You think it's sleazy, then put it in a short letter  
We keep warm but there's just something wrong   
When you just feel like that you're the hardest little button to button  
I had opinions that didn't matter  
I had a brain that felt like pancake batter  
I got a backyard with nothing in it   
Except a stick, a dog and a box with something in it  
The hardest button to button
