John Petrucci - Grew Up Lyrics

Bleeding in the dirt
I hear them laughing at me
Though I'm not really hurt
I'm crying like a baby

The teacher called me mother
She got very anger
"Good Lord, I've birthed a coward
What will I tell the family now"

I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up

3:15 I'm running
From a 4th grade lynch mob
They have a need to hate me
I have a different haircut

The teacher called my father
He got all military
"Good Lord, I've reared a faggot
And I'm afraid he'll look like me "

I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up

One day I'll be free
And getting the f*ck out of here will be
My revenge

Dump on me I don't care
I'll feed you all my garbage
I've waited my whole life for
A friend like you to want it

I grew up
In a jungle gym
I grew up

One day I'll be free
And getting the f*ck out of here will be
My revenge
My revenge
My revenge
