Wheat - No One Ever Told Me

No one ever taught me how
to watch a television
Like a baby I knew my candy
No one ever caught me
When I learned to ride a bi-
cycle
And like the pavement em-
braced my skin
No one ever warned me
About that television
Now I'm brain-dead at
twenty seven
No one ever mended my
Lumps and bruises
And now it's hard to breathe
With a broken nose
