Analysis of Snob or Bully?

Snob or Bully? 1985 (United States)



I've got a problem with all the snickers and the laughter
People quick to judge during thier happily never after
Someone's son or daughter being the target of it all
Someone's son or daughter reacts and ends up taking the fall
Check yourself and those in who you raise
Check yourself and those selfish ignorant ways
You turn your nose up to my pinkish red curls and skull butterfly tattoo
But I'd take my look everyday than look the way you do
Stop looking dumb in the face when one smiles and says HI!
Stop thinking your better than someone who works hard to provide
