Ed wasn't like the other boys
So someone said,
"I'll bet he goes for boys" and we agreed
We made jokes and I made friends
With all the guys who'd never speak to me
A family moved in up the street
In English they chose not to speak
We couldn't grasp that ideology
So we threw eggs and I threw up
The next best thing to an apology
But somehow
We turned out all right
For awhile they had to wonder
If our fear would pull us under
When I was eight I tempted fate
A big mistake
I told a girl she meant the world to me
I broke down when she broke up
And spent the rest of recess in a tree
I wasn't always thin like this
A TV lovin' kid
I'd walk to cla** while insults followed me
They grew quiet as I grew up
But when will I get my apology?
