lyrics

If I said my name was Carl
Would you take me seriously
Sign your name on my election stamps
And love me a little more

If I said my name was Joe
Would you take me to a hard core Rock and Roll show and
Not get those stupid glares from other men
I could walk down the street and not be hollered at anymore

And some people say that we should be smaller
To them I say that there was a day when you were too
They say to take the bull by the horns and seize the day
But how can we when we are caged behind these metal bars

If I was a Scott or a Steve would you take me or leave
And let me fend for myself like you always do
I know I'll be alright without you by my side for now (for now, for now)

And some people say that we should be smaller
To them I say that there was a day when you were too
They say to take the bull by the horns and seize the day
But how can we when we are caged behind these metal bars

Hey girl, what are you doing here
it's late and you really shouldn't be near
Men when they're having fun
You really shouldn't be alone

Why don't you just go home
But my name's not Steve, or Joe, or Carl Oh no. (x2)

Why don't you just go home
