Saturday Morning Cartoons

The screen flickers in the hospital room Saturday morning cartoons And I'm reminded just how far gone My childhood is dead and done Taken apart in an old man's bed And my therapist says That I am a survivor But sometimes I feel like she is a liar No, I know what she said is true But all of the men on the news All try and deny her Like they have the same sick desire to use us, abuse us And why'd they have to make our bodies political? Thank God that I'm so cynical And I was only ten When it happened Saturday morning cartoons Sat me in front of the T.V and told me he loved me Saturday morning cartoons While he touched me and took advantage of me Told me that he loved me, loved me While he touched me Said he was heartbroken If he really was He'd be crying on the bus like me He'd be sick of touch like me He'd be scared of love like me He would hate is face like me He would know his place like me If he was only eight like me He would be ashamed like me He would be in pain like me He would feel the same as me Dissociate like me Forget his name like me Saturday morning cartoons Sat me in front of the T.V and told me he loved me Saturday morning cartoons While he touched me and took advantage of me Told me that he loved me, loved me While he touched me Locking me in his RV In the record Missouri heat Bought me pepper spray to protect me Oh the irony Locking me in his RV In the record Missouri heat Bought me pepper spray to protect me Oh the irony Locking me in his RV In the record Missouri heat Saturday morning cartoons Saturday morning cartoons While he touched me and took advantage of me Told me that he loved me, loved me While he touched me Told me he loved me Told me he loved me Told me he loved me Told me he loved me Told me he loved me Told me he loved me Told me he loved me Told me he loved me
