lyrics

He always dreamed he’d be on SNL
She always thought he’d find his way to Hell
If he chose his own direction

She said to pray for what he wanted
So his development was stunted
Just waiting for directions
from some old dude up in heaven

He was the son of a teacher
But he never learned shit from her
He had to learn to love himself

She said that there is danger in the world
She cried when he brought home a Catholic girl
Cuz that’s how the devil gets ya

He said “I’d rather roll with Satan’s crew
Than wait around for miracles with you
He drove off in his LeBaron

He was the son of a teacher
But he never learned shit from her
He had to learn to love himself

He hated who he grew to be
Until he got some therapy

He got the nerve to take an improv class

He was the son of a teacher
But he never learned shit from her
He had to learn to love himself

He just had to learn to love himself
