Pattycake

[Verse 1] So they sucked the life out of you So now what the hell do you do? (Hey!) So your train ran off of its track Back when Michael Jackson was black [Pre-Chorus 1] What you gonna prove, how you gonna prove it? There's no need to waste your life, shatter and abuse it Babe, I'm talking 'bout a time when a dime bag was a dime No need to dwell upon the here and now, baby [Chorus] Let's pretend It's 1978 We're playing pattycake and baker's man Let's pretend The popsicles we ate all gave us stomach aches on our neighbor's lawn [Verse 2] So you called the chief of police (this is the pig, this is the pig) And told him what to do Called the zoo and the justice of peace And told them what to do [Pre-Chorus 2] Sold your house and home, told your boss to screw it Bought a time machine, grabbed the wheel and flew it Way, way back into a time when a dime bag was a dime No need to spend another moment here, baby [Chorus] Let's pretend It's 1978 We're playing pattycake and baker's man Let's pretend The popsicles we ate all gave us stomach aches on our neighbor's lawn [Bridge] Hello operator, please give me number nine And if you disconnect me, I'll kick your fat- Behind the refrigerator, there was a piece of glass Miss Susie sat upon it and broke her little- Ask me no more questions, I'll tell you no more lies The boys are in the bathroom, they're zipping up their- Flies are in the city and bee-stings are a crutch The boys and girls are necking and asking you just [Pre-Chorus 1] What you gonna prove, how you gonna prove it?
