Mary Mary, Quite Contrary 

    how does my stardom grow?

    with secret cartels and outright rebels,
      I should know

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN PARADISE 

    counting my blessings one bottle at a time

    living it up on top of all this crime

It’s All in the Playing

    playing the game

    win one, lose one; it’s all the same

YOU CAN RELIEVE PAIN

    cuz that’s all we want

    and you think it’s just defiance we flaunt

    and they say I’m the one to blame!

When the Wood is Green

    they’re tried to bend me at their whim

    despite my opinions, much to my chagrin

HER MOTHER’S DAUGHTER

    and she wonders why I got naughtier

    if she’s not careful she’ll be convicted of manslaughter

THE WORLD I KNOW

    the one I don’t want

    the grass has to be greener away from this haunt

POWER IDEAS for A HAPPY FAMILY

    ha! can power and happiness coexist?

    if so, there’s something I’ve definitely missed

I’m OK, You’re My Parents

    so keep your distance
