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



and boys get locked up in some prison

you just can't reason

you just can't leave

and you just can't please 'em

into being my mother's daughter

i was just eating bread and water

thinking

nothing ever changes

and i was shocked

to see the mistakes of each generation

will just fade like a radio station

when you drive

you just gotta drive

out of range



and if you're not angry

then you're just stupid

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

make them slaves to a super power

and let them die poor

and baby i love you

that's why i'm leaving

there's no talking to you

and there's
