[Verse 1]
Virginia's almost sleeping
The night is getting older
There's static on the TV
And she's lying on the sofa
The cats crawl over her

[Verse 2]
Jenny's in the garage
She's got the car in neutral
She rolls it out so quietly
It's Saturday as usual
It always is

[Verse 3]
Me, I'm in my bedroom
Drawing in my notebook
'Cause my hand thinks I'm an artist
But my heart knows I'm a poet
It's just words, they mean

[Chorus]
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
So little to me
And I can't seem to deal with total trust
There's something very wrong with me
[Verse 4]
Daddy's in the backyard
His hands are getting dirty
And mom is in the kitchen
And her cake says that I'm thirteen
Another year

[Verse 5]
My brother went to college
To become a doctor
And if he studies hard enough
He'll end up just like father
Who hates his life

[Verse 6]
And me, I'm in the bathroom
Crying out my eyelids
'Cause it's hard to be a man
When you're scared just like a little kid
The world's become

[Chorus]
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
A little too mean
And I can't see the point of patient love
When everyone just wants to get fucked
