Yeah. I take it as a song about rejection. I could have sworn the girls said that was what the song was about.

All in the class but Super Dave pass!

You all got it right.
Sorry Super Dave....you'll have to stay after class and write, "the song's about rejecting people and being rejected." 100 times.
Metal teeth = braces (50 times)
Telescope eyes = glasses (50 times)

Kimbrtones was correct, as were most of the people in this thread. She's mom of 4/5ths of the band, too, so she's a pretty authoritative source. Smile
