To the woman ahead of me at the store
\nWho can\u2019t get off her damn cell phone
\nAnd puts the money on the counter
\nInstead of in the cashier\u2019s hand<\/p>\n
To the hummer cruising down the road
\nTaking up both lanes at 10 miles an hour
\nWhen I\u2019m already in a hurry
\nAnd going to be late for work<\/p>\n
To the hopeless girl at work
\nWho can\u2019t get her shit together
\nAnd constantly needs me to help her
\nEven when I\u2019m on break<\/p>\n
Just know<\/p>\n
I want to kill you<\/p>\n
I don\u2019t usually consider myself
\nTo have a particularly violent streak<\/p>\n
But sometimes<\/p>\n
I just want to watch the world burn<\/p>\n
I want to rip coupon books out of women\u2019s hands
\nI want to shout profanities at slow talkers on the phone
\nI want smack mothers who let their kids run wild
\nI want to TELL YOU ALL
\nTO GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER
\nOR I WILL FUCKING CUT YOU<\/p>\n
But I don\u2019t<\/p>\n
Cause I just don\u2019t see how I could survive prison
\nWhen they ask me \u201cwhat\u2019re you in for?\u201d
\nAnd all I can do is sniff in a macho sort of way
\nAnd say
\n\u201cCoupon bitch had it comin\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
