Lyrics for 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 That hit both my arms I don't know what good it serves Pouring my purse in the dirt But I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more But I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be your cheerleader no more I've played dumb When I knew better Tried so hard Just to be clever I know honest thieves I call family I've seen America With no clothes on But I-I-I-I-I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more But I-I-I-I-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 cheerleader no more I don't wanna be a dirt eater no more I don't wanna be a dirt eater no more I don't wanna be a cheerleader no more
