Caedmon's Call
Stupid Kid
I think this place is swell
There's much familiar here
I get my laundry done
I get home cooked meals

When I'm feelin' tired
I can turn off all the lights
Ignore the knockin' on the door
Pretend I'm not alive, but

Daddy, it's Saturday
I don't wanna go outside
And mow the grass today

Say, would you love me just as much
If I was just your stupid kid?
Say, would you love me just as much
If I was just your stupid kid?

Well, 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 just make me look old

But daddy, it's Saturday
I don't wanna go outside
And mow the grass today

Say, would you love me just as much
If I was just your stupid kid
Say, would you love me just as much
If I was just your stupid kid

Well, isn't it Saturday
Sure feels like Saturday
So wake me Saturday
Daddy, it's Saturday

Well, my watch is off
Things I never seen
With these walls higher
Than the cost of opportunity

'Cause 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

But daddy it's saturday
I don't wanna go outside
And mow the grass today

Say, would you love me just as much
If I never got a job
If I never left your house
Would I be of use to you?
If I never amount to much more
Than just your stupid kid

Would I love me just as much
If I was just your stupid kid
