Mommy and daddy had a lock and key.
|
So she went over the wall and she was finally free.
|
She wants to know "why did the TV tell those lies? it lied to me?".
|
|
I said "I know, I know, I know."
|
You've earned your right to breathe.
|
Don't give it up. That's why you have to leave.
|
You know your number is up.
|
|
Emptied her pockets on an ugly road.
|
Why did nothing grow when the seeds were sown?
|
And why did the water turn the soil into mud?
|
Big plans, fat chance, small minds.
|
|
They took it all away
|
And won't give it back.
|
Now you have to stay. I-told-you-sos-attack.
|
|
Was it fate or dumb mistakes that made things like they are?
|
Ohhhh and did she have a choice.
|
Ragged shoes on wet cement,
|
She's talking to the king.
|
Only the peasant hears her voice.
|
It's just noise.
|
|
And when she hides her eyes
|
She's sure that no one sees her
|
Standing by the garbage cans
|
Finally alone.
|
|
And when she shuts her mouth
|
She's sure that no one hears her
|
Screaming at all of those
|
Who say she cant go back to prison.
|
|
Can't see his face, only yellow teeth.
|
Chewing on his tongue splitting easy money.
|
Oh what an ugly man,
|
He thinks he's beautiful.
|
|
What's next, who knows, who cares?
|
Is it an even trade, her time, his cash?
|
Decisions being made
|
While treasures turn to trash.
|
|
And what is the value of a fine young mind
|
When you just can't see what you left behind?
|
And why did her parents lie.
|
They lied and lied and lied and lied!
|
|
They said "you'll see what's right, you'll see."
|
But you can only see what's wrong
|
From below whats right.
|
Will she be there for long?
|
Not without a fight.
|
|
And when she hides her eyes
|
She's sure that no one sees her
|
Standing by the garbage cans
|
Finally alone.
|
