lyrics

Small fish, big pond
The hierarchy’s all flipped, ya’ll get picked on
Stick wand swinging like a maestro
Griffey rookie card clothes pinned to my bike spokes, ride slow
Gavel to the wood, G.R.O.S.S. is in session
Black cherry kool-aid toast with my brethren
Chant the anthem like “all chicks got cooties”
Keep a hush on my crush for a pig-tailed cutie
Yeah, I’ super soaker shoot a man, deuce the koopa troopa clan
Do the damn thing while I’m juking in my zuba pants
I build time machines when I’m bored
Clean carpets turn to lava, bed sheets turn to forts
Hopping in the radio flyer that I pilot
With a drawn map and a tiger as a sidekick
Philosophy while we travel lost lands
Ain’t no rules to this stuff, we the calvinball champs

Which way do we go?
What things should we do?
Which why should we try to solve?
Whatever one we choose.

School sucks, church too
We at a stand off with Mom, negotiating curfew
Like Spaceman Spiff politicking on Venus
We came to terms and then we ran until she couldn’t see us
Slingshot cocked, cats eyes for the bad guys
Hiding by the creek where the paper boats capsized
Mimicking the wars that we’d see on TV
But all of our battles end with a peaceful treaty
Last week, I found an injured baby crow
I put it in a shoebox so I could take it home
Tried to nurse it back so it could fly into the sunshine
That was the first time something that I loved died
Drying tears on the porch at our new house
Emptying a grape flavored big league chew pouch
I blow a bubble, then I laugh it off, man
We take it as it comes, we the Calvinball Champs

Go long, no longer
Eating all this dirt just makes me stronger
Go deep, nah deeper
Going through it once just makes it easier
Go long, no longer
Walking barefoot just makes me stronger
Go deep, nah deeper
Going through it once just makes it easier
