Boy, you're behaving like a misfit.
Your extended family just came to town
and all you feel is the cold in your feet
and the holidays boredom in your hands
The reassuring voice in your headphones goes
"How can someone so young sing words so sad?"
"Can't you be nice to your cousins, at least for a while?"
Your mother asks.
She means well, but she doesn't stand a chance.
Boy, you've been reading things you don't understand
your third uncle is annoyed by your arrogant pleasentries,
you better behave like someone your age,
you'd be better off on the beach with someone else.
Your favorite song in your headphones goes
"Oh sometimes people can be so dense"
"Can't you be nice to your cousins, at least for a while?"
Your mom asks.
She means well, but she doesn't stand a chance:
you're a misfit on holidays.
