Glutter’s Exile in Guyville Lyrics Scramble

Glutter Relisten: The Music Issue

Help me, Mary please
I’ve lost my home to thieves
They bully the stereo and drink
They leave suspicious stains in the sink
They make rude remarks about me
They wonder just how wild I would be
As they egg me on and they keep me mad
They play me like a pitbull in a basement, and for that…
I lock my door at night
I keep my mouth shut tight
I practice all my moves
I memorize their stupid rules
I make myself their friend
I’ll show them just how far I can bend
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I don’t know where you heard it
I don’t know who’s spreadin’ it ’round
I never said nothing
I don’t know what they told you
Don’t even care what about
So don’t look at me sideways
Don’t even look me straight on
And don’t look at my hands in my pockets, baby
I ain’t done anything wrong
They say he’s famous, but no one can prove it
