I saw Mary-Sue yesterday

First time in five years

Her eyes were dull and hopeless

Sinking into her skin

And I laughed to myself

Thinking of how she hurt me

So Mary-Sue,

This song is for you.

CHORUS

Welcome to the world, Mary-Sue

You know I always hated you

But that hate gave me something to fight for

Now I’m on top and you’re breaking the law!

Welcome to the world Mary-Sue

You know, I learned it all from you

In the classroom you were Miss. Ever ready

It was in the real world you became unsteady

So now and then I’ve heard things

About the mess Mary-Sue got herself into

I remember how she was so right

All the time, wanted to be a star

Back when we were in high school

Oh Mary-Sue

What happened to you?

CHORUS

Well honey you finally made the front page

Too bad you never lived to see the day

Overdosed all alone in a seedy nightclub

And I always thought you had all the love

Say goodbye to the world Mary-Sue

I can no longer bring myself to hate you

Your parents, I can hear their cries

Their little girl dead of drugs

No longer a surprise.
