(NOTE: this song isn't about my mother, rather it's just a metaphor)
|
|
you are bent on mind control
|
you ignore my mind and soul
|
you never give me a chance
|
reject me like a past romance
|
say i cant see thru my hair
|
but you're the one who's blinded there
|
too ignorant to see
|
in the land of liberty
|
never followed your dreams
|
never dared to know extremes
|
no one else can believe
|
what you cant perceive
|
chop it up - nothing left
|
a victim of a mind theft
|
rejected for the world i've shaped
|
by not being brain raped
|
|
dear mom: i dont think you understand
|
i dont live for your demand
|
you shouldn't have planned
|
it blows over the land
|
like a fist full of sand
|
life isn't so grand
|
when you try to command
|
but you'll never understand...
|
|
pull the needle : pull the thread
|
pull on me until i'm dead
|
i can not be ripped apart
|
why would you destroy my heart
|
made my dinner : washed my clothes
|
changed my diapers : blew my nose
|
made me well when i was sick
|
saw thru me just like a brick
|
never noticed remotely
|
my individuality
|
born in the usa
|
with ridicule everyday
|
born here on planet earth
|
where what they see is all it's worth
|
born here in the milkyway
|
waiting for a better day...
|
|
dear mom: i dont think you understand
|
i dont live for your demand
|
you shouldn't have planned
|
it blows over the land
|
like a fist full of sand
|
life isn't so grand
|
when you try to command
|
but you'll never understand...
|
|
words say more than eyes do
|
i forgot to say 'i love you'
|
'cause there's something in the way
|
pain blocked the words i tried to say
|
|
