Alternate Learning - Ulysses lyrics

Ulysses, turn Your head away Things are not right At home they say Like a child you Believed the lies Sat in theatres with Newspaper eyes Down on main street In your own home The race is running The girls are grown Down in the churchyard Watch from afar His mind is wandering His mind's at war And his mind explodes on the concrete floor And the call it a shame and c'est l'amour But they call it something else where I come from They cry oppression They tell him no They call him stupid His price is low Like corporations It's in the deal They think they know him He isn't real And he wants to speak his feelings but their word is hard When his soul's at stake it's they who play the cards And it's almost as if they don't understand Almost as if they don't understand
