*****What's wrong with Jason Taylor?*****

Whats wrong with Jason Taylor?
Jason isn't exactly the acest name you could wish for
Whats wrong with Jason Taylor?
"Am I normal,” I said
I'm certain,
I'm thirteen,
made of flesh and blood.

Whats wrong with Jason Taylor?
I was going to die
Id never have to say a word
anythings better than getting labeled 
the fear that my secret'll be discovered 
if they knew Eliot Bolivar was me,
theyd gouge me to death,
so I beat around the bush.

Whats wrong with Jason Taylor?
if you chicken out your a homo,
if you tell a teacher your dead.
i envy anyone who can say what they want.

Whats wrong with Jason Taylor?
Nothing. They just don't like me.
Those kids must hate me.
No point denying it
Hate doesn't need a why

That's a harsh statement
Okay.
Giving you a hard time aren't they?
Is Taylor the school Stutterer going to cry?
It's all right, Jason!
They're dickheads.
