Lyrics for Spunky

Spunky don't like her uniform It never fit so good Goin' back to the orphanage And the place where her garage once stood Well it's a free for all, free for all, free for all It's a free for all, you and me And if you don't like what they're telling you You can't teach a blind man to see Well I can see Spunky looks good in her bright red wig Eating chocolate-chip mint ice cream A cat named Lola with a violent past Is balled up asleep 'cross her knees And it's a free for all, free for all, free for all It's a free for all, you and me One day the world will be ready for you And wonder how they didn't see Spunky knows she can save the world In her own little way Turning in her old uniform 'Cause you know, it really didn't pay 'Cause it's a free for all, free for all, free for all It's a free for all, you and me I walk through the world with your name on my tongue And your picture etched on my screen
