crayons Lyrics

My father took my crayons away

Took off all the paper and ate 'em

Chewed 'em up and spat on the table

Tried to say they'd still draw the same

But the blue is lighter

And the gray looks whiter

How can i color the sun

When the yellow is mush

He tells me to hush

(Music)

My mother always stood to the side

Told me she felt bad through her eyes

She'd warn when my dad would arrive

So i'd run to the bathroom and hide

Older sibling looks so tired

So i roll up my sleeves

Try and get my dad wired

To blame it on me

He blamed it all on me

(Music)

(He blamed it all on me)

My momma took my courage away

Scoop it up and swallowed it whole

Daddy swore that i would thank him someday

But i just didn't wanna go
