Everyone called me Little Mary Sunshine.
Everything I want was mine oh mine.
But it was predictable that it wouldn't be long,
until I hit puberty and then everything would go wrong.
The lights would go out,
and the freak would come out at night.
I was teen and fresh and free,
who liked to party, smoke and fight.
Most people wondered what caused my u-turn.
I'll tell you, the man, that s.o.b
and in hell that man will burn.
It was the very man who named me Sunshine,
the very man who took the only thing that was really mine.
The man who up and plucked every petal of my virgin flower.
The man who had his way with me, using force, authority and power.
The man who turned this tender child into a whore.
But I swear on my life, with the one bullet left in this gun,
that man will be no more.
