Elliott Smith
Bastard John
Come here in silence
And kiss me quiet, lying on the floor
I'm acting dumb like you wanted
But I'm not your kid anymore

I am not your bastard, John
Just because I played along

You're just a comma
You give me pause with your temporary charm
But I'm distorted
Can't you see it?
When I'm underneath you
Trying not to look alarmed

I am not your bastard, John
Just because I played along
I am not your bastard, John
Just because I played along

I'm not your bastard, John
I'm not your bastard, John

So don't try to fake me out
With some bullshit promise that you didn't have to say
Your present to me
Just keeps on giving every damn day
I'm not your bastard, John
I'm not your bastard, John
