Since the day I let you in |
Feeling so cosmopolitan |
Don’t you know I tried so hard to make a home for you |
Oh but my cupboard’s mostly empty |
And you always get upset |
And now I’m working nights for nickels |
Just to feed my favorite pit |
I know it’s easy to remind me of the things I haven’t got |
I’d be better if you left me here to rot |
You say that it’s a choice to make a message with my voice |
But I’m on eggshells when I walk around the living room |
Cause at the end of the day my nightly news is inundated with your views |
I start to think there isn’t nothing I can do |
Cause you move mountains with your anger |
You swell oceans when you’re sad |
And you start wars with your rejoicing |
And you treated me so bad |
There is a conflict here of interest |
The interest isn’t mine |
I start to think about leaving you behind |
Some definitions of our difference, once invented long maintained |
Now someone’s dying on a dance floor, you can say that we’re the same but it’s |
a lie |
War machines and power dreams and racist, homophobic schemes can’t orient |
themselves to give the people what they need |
The ones who live to lead our fights |
The ones who died to gain our rights |
The ones collected on your cutting floor shout |
«Who turned out the lights?» |
I know I tried |
