One More Pill

You taught me to shut up
And how to raise my voice
You taught me to be cruel
To get even with you
You showed me how to leave
Without making a scene
You taught me how to cry
Without letting you see
Thanks to my little Raggedy Anne
I’m learning to fight
I’m becoming a man
Thanks to the devil
I can’t get enough
My prickly heart
Fits his hand like a glove
To let you know I’m hurt
I don’t have to shout
Just pick up my guitar
To shut you out
Someday I’ll be strong
And never speak again
Just keep it to myself
Become a wreck
Thanks to my little Raggedy Anne
I’m learning to fight
I’m becoming a man
Thanks to the devil
I can’t get enough
My prickly heart
Fits his hand like a glove
The devil said
“Come here my son
Pay attention
I’m only going to tell you this once”
He said “You’re important
So you’ll always know best
Whatever you do
Do whatever you want just don’t forget”
Thanks to my little Raggedy Anne
I’m learning to fight
I’m becoming a man
So is it a surprise
That I always think I’m right
Maybe it’s not you
Who taught me how to fight
‘Cause I’ve got a special friend
Tells me to respect myself
Even at the cost
Of everybody else
