Anyone but you

I wish I were in East St. Louis,
Being beaten and robbed in the parking lot of a Wal-Mart.
I wish I were back in high school
Being picked on by assholes in gym
And bored by teachers who resent you because you're young.

Anywhere but here,
with anyone but you.

If I were Brad Davis in that movie in a Turkish prison,
being beaten on the soles of my feet I'd smile.

Becasue I'd be

Anywhere but here,
With anyone but you.

Anywhere but here,
With anyone but you.

Because you're as bad as it gets.
