Stack up the boxes, patch up the walls
While you're running, pack up this whole place
Doesn't matter each time we pa** in the halls
With a look like a slap in the face
No, I wasn't gentle, maybe too parental
But regarding my mental state
Let's be sentimental
Just say I was crazy in all of the predictable ways
Pennsylvania raised you so insane
You can't begin to feign
Some fake stability
Simpson fooled some
But you can't fake dumb
And you sure as hell can't fake free
Break free from the old
Into which we were beholding
And take me back down to the grange
Sirens soul, but no matter how bold
Well, I know it's so hard to change
I know it's so hard to change
Success betrays that which providence gave you
Your faculty beloved by fate
When everything fails, just pull out the nails
And cover the holes with paint
But before we're done
And the song is sung
Let's dispense with all the irony
Because I was the one
Too generous and dumb
And maybe too young to leave
And changing, no, it ain't easy
Break free from the old
Into which we were beholding
And take me back down to the grange
Sirens soul, but no matter how bold
Well, I know it's so hard to change
So hard to change
