Betrayed |
| When I began I was full of altruistic dreams |
| Believed in princes and princesses, kings and queens — |
| Now I find they’re all human inside |
| All bitterness and pride |
| So why shouldn’t I be like that too? |
| It seems that I’ve forgotten all I tried so hard to learn; |
| It seems there’s not an ounce of love or trust |
| Anywhere in the world |
| Friends — they’re all harbouring knives |
| To embed in your back out of revenge, or spite |
| Or indifference, or lack of other things to do — |
| In the end just who’s going to be a friend for you |
| When they kick you in the guts just as your hand holds out the pearl? |
| It seems that there is nothing left but |
| Hatred and lust in the world |
| I don’t give a damn anymore — I’ve only wound up betrayed |
| It’s all been absolutely worthless — |
| All the efforts I’ve made to be gentle and kind |
| Are repaid with contempt |
| Degraded by sympathy and worthless kindness |
| And love that isn’t meant |
| I’m through with joy and company, I’ve done with pretty words |
| Betrayed — there’s no hiding-place |
| Anywhere in the world |
| I’ve nothing left to fight for except making my passion heard — |
| I don’t believe in anything |
| Anywhere in the world |
