Rosie's mother and father apparently use a unique style of parenting Every act they take and rule they make us out of fear of her soul perishing They never ever let her make any friends Gotta make dinner and do dishes at the end Gotta get cussed out and pray for her sins, get hit, do homework and then do it again Her peers at school are planning attacks They comment on her hair and how she acts Nah, they ain't gonna hurt her- they'll just make a mess - flip her cafe tray onto her chest They say she's plain, she should take her clothes off Gave her the nickname Rosie the Robot, and she asks god Why it's her they're after and tells him the worst part is their laughter At sixteen Rosie wished to be dead Took her father's gun to the shed Held it to her head, but she never shot cause it was then that she had a thought If I'm completely over the earth, I'll take this moment to be rebirthed She left the shed, she entered the kitchen with a gun in her hand and brand new intentions Broke her mother's jaw So she'd stop bitchin' Found her sleeping pa Got his attention He tried to run She shot him with his own gun Took the rest of his pieces and She went on the run She was either feeling kinda gracious or she was a bad aim because she only shot her dad in the leg He should be alright Then she went in her mom's bedroom and found her mother's purse and took out the cigarettes and keys But then put them back in the purse and decided to take the whole purse instead Rosie was done feeling embarrassing Took her dad's wallet to help take care of things Drove of to buy some cans of kerosene To burn down everything she found disparaging She bought some clothes that at home wouldn't pass Wearing red lipstick on her embargo And drove to school in time for her third class Resembling a Kissin' Kate Barlow and in the parking lot she sat Fingering her father's fat, sitting on the edge of purpose, wondering why she's feeling nervous If I'm completely over the earth, then why can't I embrace my curse? She left the school with no direction and parked her car in the intersection Soon the traffic stopped On all sides around her Folks got out their cars Started to surround her A man yelled "Run!" When he saw that she had guns She saw an opening on the sidewalk ramp and through the gap she spun Drove down the sidewalk of Main Street in the middle of the day Past pedestrians diving to get out of her way Toward the underpass of second street she steers Sirens appear, cherries she hear in her rear view mirror Rosie didn't give a f*ck that the cops were chasing her She'd been caged up her whole life, it was nice to have a bit of a thrill Plus she had a little somethin' in her back pocket She knew this detour she used to take home from school, it was made out of dirt, well, it was a dirt road The cops didn't wanna risk damaging their cop cars and all that fucking shit So she took that dirt road and drove off into the motherfucking sunset
