We were called sluts
from the time we were five
And teased so fucking bad
that we thought we would die
E
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
B
on peppermint schnapps
And super sized sundaes
with chocolate sauce
E
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
E
We gave handjobs quick
and always with a smile
So it didn't get too weird
and we didn't have to die
B
We lived in light switches
and painted walls
E
And spent too many hours
at the food court at the mall
F
We smoked pin joints
under fluorescent lights
And wore shorts at the beach
B
just to hide our thighs

We ran so fast

Years later we'd be told
F
that we weren't real punks
By boys in bands who acted
E
like our dads when they were drunk
And they can all brag now
B
'bout how they were there
E
When we took over the stage
and took our fair share
F
But whatever the truth,
in the end we made
E
Tiny islands where we
didn't always have to be afraid
B
And an X will forever mark the spot
E
When we decided
F
we had had just about enough
