My freedom is not real
Just the compulsion to reveal.
And my weapon is always concealed
Protecting me from what they tell me to fear
My reason, what I say and feel
Is a just a construct of my cultures dead ideas
And my lovers who've a taste for the k**
Will do what they want and sacrifice nil
And I'd leave it all if I had somewhere to go.
Life can be a stain, oh the pain sometimes
But when the rain it falls, it drives it all away.
It's been a lonely, lonely life
In and out of love, forgetting the pain before
Moving onto the next one.
It's been a lonely, lonely life
Not getting what you want, the dreams that die
Behind your back as the years pa** on and on.
I can say with firm resolve I mess up all the time
But I won't lay the blame on someone else
When the fault is all mine.
But by and by I get on fine.
By and by we get on fine.
