lyrics

just the thought of our bed
makes me crumble like the plaster
where you punched the wall
beside my head
and i try to draw the line
but it ends up running
down the middle of me most of the time
boys get locked up
in some prison
girls get locked up
in some house
and it don’t matter
if it’s a warden
or a lover or a spouse
you just can’t talk to ‘em
you just can’t reason
you just can’t leave
and you just can’t please ‘em
i was locked
into being my mother’s daughter
i was just eating bread and water
thinking nothing ever changes
then i was shocked
to see the mistakes of each generation
will just fade like a radio station
if you drive out of range

if you’re not angry
then you’re just stupid
or you don’t care
how else can you react
when you know
something’s so unfair
when the men of the hour
can kill half the world in war
or make them
slaves to a superpower
and then let them die poor

i was locked
into being my mother’s daughter
i was just eating bread and water
thinking nothing ever changes
then i was shocked
to see the mistakes of each generation
will just fade like a radio station
if you drive out of range

just the thought of our bed
makes me crumble like the plaster
where you punched the wall
beside my head
and i try to draw the line
but it ends up running
down the middle of me
most of the time

baby i love you
that’s why i’m leaving
there’s just no talking to you
and there’s just no pleasing you
and i care enough
that i’m mad
that half the world don’t even know
what they could’a had

i was locked
into being my mother’s daughter
i was just eating bread and water
thinking nothing ever changes
then i was shocked
to see the mistakes of each generation
will just fade like a radio station
if you drive
you just gotta drive
out of range
