Location<\/p>\n
Location<\/p>\n
It was a crime<\/p>\n
It was<\/p>\n
The way those people<\/p>\n
That place<\/p>\n
Hung in the air like a stinky sock<\/p>\n
That school<\/p>\n
Those uppity teenagers<\/p>\n
With sex on their brain<\/p>\n
And disturbance in their heart<\/p>\n
They ate kids like me for lunch<\/p>\n
Nerdy kids, smart kids, big boobed girls<\/p>\n
and wimpy boys<\/p>\n
As bells rang and lockers slammed<\/p>\n
self esteem was shattered<\/p>\n
harsh words hung in the air<\/p>\n
Perfectly timed pushes<\/p>\n
A trip out of nowhere<\/p>\n
Sending someone sprawling<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Peyton Place and Days of our Lives<\/p>\n
Who dated who<\/p>\n
And who never got dated<\/p>\n
Someone makes the team<\/p>\n
Someone else has to fail<\/p>\n
Overt commentary<\/p>\n
About the political futures of us all<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Location Location Location<\/p>\n
School hallway<\/p>\n
Where cafeteria smells<\/p>\n
were not culinary<\/p>\n
And growing up was<\/p>\n
shame and attitude<\/p>\n
Lower class beings<\/p>\n
Smashed under the shoe<\/p>\n
Of a social structure<\/p>\n
Embedded in small children<\/p>\n
Who grow up to be horrible adults<\/p>\n
And misfits<\/p>\n
Never make the grade<\/p>\n
