Run Fast

We were called sluts from the time we were five And teased so fucking bad that we thought we would die We were the girls in tight jeans who always walked alone And rode our bikes late at night to avoid going home We numbed ourselves out on peppermint schnapps And super sized sundaes with chocolate sauce We stole cheap locks from the hardware store And put em up with butter knives on our bedroom doors We ran so fast In the movie they show us in each other's arms But the truth is we almost always cried alone We gave handjobs quick and always with a smile So it didn't get too weird and we didn't have to die We lived in light switches and painted walls And spent too many hours at the food court at the mall We smoked pin joints under fluorescent lights And wore shorts at the beach just to hide our thighs We ran so fast Years later we'd be told that we weren't real punks By boys in bands who acted like our dads when they were drunk And they can all brag now about how they were there When we took over the stage and took our fair share But whatever the truth, in the end we made Tiny islands where we didn't always have to be afraid And an X will forever mark the spot When we decided we had had just about enough We ran so fast We ran so fast
