Boogerproof: A Song of Healing

lyrics

Third-Grade Outsider / Right there on the Cusp
Navigating society / at least the Best I Could
When a kid with all the Power / Circled ‘round me with his friends, and said If I ate a booger, I could / Hang around with them

Well I wish I could report to you / I told ‘em go jump a fence

But then and there I ate that booger and I’ve been / Eating boogers since

My life did not turn out so Bad them guys, they kept their word And I grew up in their world / of the unkind and the absurd

Knowing I’d never be the hero,/ surviving’s more my thing Does it make me less a man or knowing my damned place?

Cause it’s boogers when you pay the rent/ Boogers when you vote Boogers with your coffee and that /Paper boogers wrote
Boogers for the overtime / That you have to work
When you want a promotion, then you find it’s / boogers for dessert.

Least I’m not like Pee Boy / Nobody had it any badder than him Yes he Pissed his pants Right in class / Age Ten
But his Life did not turn out so bad / that Guy he runs a Bank

And his Third Wife, she’s Hot as Hell and he keeps/ Gas in her Caddy tank
But I heard she’s stepping out / Man, It’s more booger than you think

And it’s boogers when you pay the rent/ Boogers when you vote Boogers in your coffee and that / Paper boogers wrote
Boogers for the overtime / That you have to work
When You want a Promotion, then you find it’s/ boogers for dessert.

You Say You Never Ate a Booger.... / Who You Talking Too? I ain’t met a Person yet / what’s Boogerproof.
Cause it’s Boogers for your phone bill / The Month Nobody Called Boogers on Your Internet Just’a / Trollin’ up your wall

I ain’t met a person yet what’s Boogerproof.
I ain’t met a person yet what’s Boogerproof.
And I ain’t met
 a person yet
What’s Boogerproof?
