Cheerleader

I’ve had good times with some bad guys
I’ve told whole lies with a half smile

Held your bare bones with my clothes on
I’ve thrown rocks then hid both my arms

I don’t know what good it serves
Pouring my purse in the dirt but

I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more

I’ve played dumb when I knew better
Tried too hard just to be clever
I know honest thieves I call family
I’ve seen America with no clothes on but

I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more

I don’t know what I deserve but for you I could work
Cause I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more

I don’t wanna be a bird eater no more
I don’t wanna be a dirt eater no more
I don’t wanna be a cheerleader no more
