Set up - set up for the sake of a comfortable home

Too young - too young to take control

Mother's little weapon for when Father broke the rules

He never wanted her or me

He just wanted to be free

There's a risk and a twist

And all this from the girl you missed by minutes

On the day you were hit



Set up - every opportunity to make me like them

Set up - born into a world where I had no control

One set up leads to another

Too set up to lie to each other



And it's all been a fram

I've got to change my appearance

And get rid of the name

They did it with mirrors

They did it without pain

I was set up and held up and stuffed in a cage

Don't get up and say it was some other mother

I'm sure enough it was you that planted me

Is there anyone out there

Who can change this atmosphere



Set up - every opportunity to make me like them

Set up - born into a world where I had no control

One set up leads to another

Too set up to lie to each other



They did it with mirrors

They did it with teachers

They did it without pain

They couldn't think of a number so they gave me a name



Set up - every opportunity to make me like them

Set up - born into a world where I had no control

One set up leads to another

Too set up to lie to each other



They did it with kindness

They did it with a smile

They did it all with a licence

They did it according to the rules

They did it with good advice

They did it for some reason

They did it

Well they tried...
