One two three four— Little guy in the big black boots, Chains and spikes and a face like a bruise, Eyeliner running by second period — Man, we get it. You're serious. Kicked a locker 'cause it looked at him wrong, Called Miss Enmore a word too long, Got hauled out shouting, got hauled back in — Somebody give this kid a win. And I'd fight him, I would, He's exactly my size — Nobody likes Sarah's brother! Nobody likes that kid! He's a walking dare, he's a hand grenade, He's the worst thing anybody did! Nobody likes Sarah's brother! Nobody's gonna cry! He's got a mouth like a broken window — Somebody tell him why! Started something with somebody in the lunch line, Lost, obviously, took it fine, Meaning he went outside and screamed at a fence For a solid forty-five. Kev says "he's just a kid," yeah, Kev, he's a kid With a chain on his belt and a chip on his lip, And I'd feel bad but he makes it so hard — That's a talent, man. That's an art. And I'd hate him, I do, It's the easiest thing— Nobody likes Sarah's brother! Nobody likes that kid! He's a walking dare, he's a hand grenade, He's the worst thing anybody did! Nobody likes Sarah's brother! Nobody's gonna cry! He's got a mouth like a broken window — Somebody tell him why! Three-fifteen. Every day. Three-fifteen. He's out that door before the bell's done ringing, Down Elm, past the Sunoco, to the little school — And there's a girl about yay high With a backpack bigger than she is, and he takes it off her, and he carries it, and he slows down. Different kid. Whole different kid. Howie said, "so where's their mom?" And nobody had a joke. Two years of us. Two years of makin' stuff up about everybody. And we sat in that van and we didn't say one word 'cause we all thought the same thing and none of us wanted to be first. Nobody likes Sarah's brother! Nobody likes that kid! And maybe that's the point of him, Maybe that's the lid! Nobody likes Sarah's brother — Nobody's got to look! He's so busy bein' terrible that nobody ever took. Three-fifteen. Every day. Three-fifteen.
