Kids
The Frights Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everybody wants me dead but I just wanna be left alone
Have you ever felt the pressure building in your brain
Growing up is suicide and it's driving me insane
I hate my mom and dad
You told me you were sad
We left our homes at last
I can make it on my own but I
never needed this
now I pay for insurance
and I'm always getting sick
If you wanna get back together
we can break up again
OH MY GOD WHATEVEEER!
I'M A FUCKING DICK!
I hate my mom and dad
You told me you were sad
We left our homes at last
I miss my mom and dad
I hate my mom and dad
You told me you were sad
We left our homes at last
I miss my mom and dad
I hate my mom and dad
You told me you were sad
We left our homes at last
I miss my mom and dad

I like the album and I feel like it would be great as a soundtrack for a coming of age movie which in my eyes is not an insult.
