Lyrics Saved - Beady Belle

Saved

I came to your rescue
Took you out of this place
Where there’s neither patience nor pity
Nothing will last
And nobody stays
In this fleeting and shallow city
Here people expect
Their lovers, their friends
Their children and even their god
To arrive
At little cost and time
Just to have what’s trendy and mod
And God forbid
If you’re out of step
What would happen then
You gotta join the dance
Get your ass on the floor
Success is your only friend
But I saved you
I saved you from this place
I freed you
From this foolish race
To another dance
For another chance
You simply couldn’t stay
So you had no say
But I saved you
In my own way
Here people will gladly
Exchange your faith for sex
And all sex for power
And the greatest concern
At the end of the day
Is to end up as a wallflower
And God forbid
If you’re out of step
What would happen then
You gotta join the dance
Get your ass on the floor
Success is your only friend
But I saved you
I saved you from this place
I freed you
From this foolish race
To another dance
For another chance
You simply couldn’t stay
So you had no say
But I saved you
In my own way
I don’t know if you ever thank me
If you even call it a rescue
But if I asked you ahead you wouldn’t agree
So I made the decision for you
Someone would call it abduction
An encroachment upon your free flow
But my love gave me the instructions
I just couldn’t let you go
But I saved you
I saved you from this place
I freed you
From this foolish race
I saved you
I saved you from this place
I freed you
From this foolish race
I saved you
I saved you from this place
I freed you
From this foolish race
To another dance
For another chance
You simply couldn’t stay
So you had no say
But I saved you
In my own way
