She reminds me of little riding hood in red
just after the big bad wolf is dead
and all the huntsmen are hankering for lifelong romance
and they've got a snowball in hell of a chnce
she's one tough cookie of that there's no doubt
she still gets in trouble but she still can get out
and she veers from the path every now and again
she still talks to strangers, how else you gonna make new friends
make new friends
and she loves her mom and her grandmother too
and she knows being kind is the hardest thing to do
and she likes fresh cut flowers and loves baking bread
and at night she regrets that the big bad wolf is dead
cuz she wants to do it again
and i love her i can't help it i love her i do
when she shows up to listen, or sing a song or two
and she reminds me of riding hood in red
way after the big bad wolf is dead
way after
oh the struggle to be a better human being
to ve thoughtful and kind and understanding
when you say sure it's okay
though they just ruined your whole day
and your tuesday and wednesday as well
to answer 'sure' when you wanna say 'go to hell'
oh the struggle to be a better human being
to keep your heart open and your hands clean
to know your own wrongs and rights
to stand up for the good fight
to remember to say thank you and i love you and pease
and not to eat too much kraft macaroni and cheese (poison, too corporate for me)
oh the struggle to be a better human being
not to close every bar you walk into
and not to live on m&ms and caffeiene
to be honest and true when there's so many other things to do
like guiness or shooting dope
or just hanging yourself with a rope
so many choices between, yeH yu know it
oh the sturggle to be a better human being
to keep you heart open and your nose clean
to say sure it's okay
when they just ruined your whole day
and your tuesday and wednesday as well
when you answer sure when you wanna say go to hell.
