You gotta be a strong man.
You can’t be a teacher’s pet because that’d make you a sissy.
You gotta be clever.
And be friends with the right people.
You must have connections, and be in control.
You can’t have a fat belly.
You can’t be good at school, or be top of your class.
You can’t be a nerd.
You can’t sit in the front row.
And you must play football.
If someone upsets you,
You can’t complain.
“What? You complained to your mommy?
Is she coming to give your booboo a kiss?”
