Stupid KiD Caedmon's Call
I think this place is swell
There's much familiar here
I get my laundry done
And I get home-cooked meals when I'm feeling tired
I can turn off all the lights
Ignore the knocking on the door, pretend I'm not alive

Chorus:

Daddy, it's Saturday and I don't want to go outside
And mow the grass today
Would you love me just as much if I was just your stupid kid
Would you love me just as much if I was just your stupid kid

They tell me that I'm bright
Sometimes I think they're right
But I guess I'll never know 'cause I won't go outside
Some days it's just so hot and others, it's so cold
Too much exposure to the sun would make me look old

(Repeat Chorus)

Isn't this Saturday, sure feels like Saturday
Wake me Saturday, Daddy, it's Saturday

And my mind wanders off to things I've never seen
Are these walls higher than the cost of opportunity
I'm too big for my bed and I've outgrown my shoes
But my fear of leaving is the one thing I just can't lose

Daddy, it's Saturday and I don't want to go outside
And mow the grass today
Would you love me just as much if I never got a job and if I never left your house
Would I be of use to you if I never amounted to much more
Than just your stupid kid
Would I love me just as much if I was just your stupid kid
