| 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. |
| youve earned your right to breathe.
|
| dont give it up. |
| thats 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 winds.
|
| they took it all away and wont 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? |
| and did she have a choice.
|
| ragged shoes on wet cement,
|
| she talking to the king. |
| only the peasant hears her
|
| voice. |
| its just noise. |
| and when she hides her eyes
|
| shes sure that no one sees her standing by the garbage
|
| cans finally alone. |
| and when she shuts her mouth shes
|
| sure that no one hears her screaming at all of those
|
| who say she cant go back to prison.
|
| cant see his face, only yellow teeth.
|
| chewing on his tongue splitting easy money.
|
| oh what an ugly man, he thinks hes beautiful.
|
| whats next, who knows, who cares?
|
| is it an even trade, her time,
|
| his cash? |
| descisions being made while treasures turn
|
| to trash. |
| and what is the value of a fine young mind
|
| when you just cant see what you left behind?
|
| and why did her parents lie.
|
| they lied and lied and lied and lied!
|
| they said «youll see whats right,
|
| youll see."but you can only see whats wrong from
|
| below whats right. |
| will she be there for long?
|
| not without a fight. |
| and when she hides her eyes shes in prison. |
