Helpless

                                  Father collected '50's records

But he was racist

Mama grew with Frank Sinatra

Raised two hip-hop kids



[Chorus:]

Na Na Na Na

Helpless



Our parents gave us television

And vanished in their cars

Teachers gave us bad religion

Stomach aches and scars



[Chorus]



I feel so much better

I was lost forever

I feel so much better now



I've been standing in the shadows

Years since you were born

Comic books and dirty looks

And protests on the lawn



I've been stranded on the freeway

And I've seen the Berlin Wall

I've been trying to make connection

But I still don't quite belong



[Chorus]



I feel so much better

I was lost forever

I feel so much better now

I've seen all your drama

Hope you like your karma

Back on wonderama now

Na Na Na Na

Helpless
