If it weren't for your maturity
None of this would have happened If you weren't so wise beyond your years I would've been able to control myself If it weren't for my attention You wouldn't have been successful, and If it weren't for me You would never have amounted to very much Ooh this could be messy, but You don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody, and Overlook this supposed crime We'll fast-forward to a few years later No one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this You're essentially an employee And I like you having to depend on me You're a kind of protégé And one day you'll say you learned all you know from me, and I know you depend on me Like a young thing would to a guardian I know how you sexualize me Like a young thing would and I think I like it Ooh this could get messy, but Ooh, you don't seem to mind Ooh, don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast-forward to a few years later No one knows except the both of us I've more than honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this What part of our history's reinvented and under rug swept? What part of your memory is selective and tends to forget? What with this distance it seems so obvious? Just make sure you don't tell on me Especially to members of your family We best keep this to ourselves And not tell any members of our inner posse I wish I could tell the world 'Cause you're such a pretty thing when you're done-up properly I might want to marry you one day If you'd watch that weight and keep your firm body Ooh this could be messy Ooh I don't seem to mind Ooh don't go telling everybody And overlook this supposed crime We'll fast-forward to a few years later No one knows except the both of us And I have honored your request for silence And you've washed your hands clean of this |

We watch movies of murder and we censor the breast
Give thanks for the murders of Chris Columbus We kill our own and we vote for the men The lesser of evils and us starring the role of victim I wonder how we change if we can in this land I wonder how many mountains we'd move if we bent together Us priveleged Americans We pass our revisions onto the next generation We kneel to the Gods of corporation We eat when we're full and we hoard all the rest With our hands on remotes we say "Yes, We're the best" I wonder what we change in this land, cause we can Even with western centricity this rampant Us ugly Americans Tired are not my hands But see strangers and enemies as part of me, is real. For me this awakening Canadian We teach our offspring for themselves, every man We shrug shoulders and create yet another -ism We dissuade our young from using their imagination We avert our eyes from this our very own manifestation I wonder what will change in this land, cause we can I wonder how many mouths we'd fill if we band together Us awakening Americans |

I had disengaged to avoid being totaled
I would run away and say good riddance soon enough I had grown disgusted by your small-minded ceiling To imagining myself bolting had not been difficult Soon be my life Soon be my pace Soon be my choice of which you'll have no part of Unprodigal Daughter and I'm heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last! I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed I hit the ground running although I know not what toward I hit the town reeling forgetting all that came before I felt primed and ready unsurrounded by the pawns I felt culture shocked, but dissuaded, I was not This is my town This is my voice This is my taste of what you've have no part of Unprodigal Daughter and I'm heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last! I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed One day I'll saddle back and speak foreign adventures One day I'll double back and tell you about these unfettered years One day I'll look back and feel something other than relieved Glad that I left when I did before no dear, you can't got the best of me When I'd speak of artistry you would roll your eyes skyward When I'd speak of spirituality you label me absurd When I spoke of impossibility you would frown and shake your head If I had stayed much longer I'd have surely imploded These are my words This is my house These are my friends of which you've had no part of Unprodigal Daughter and I'm heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last! I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed Unprodigal Daughter and I'm heading for the west Disenchanted daughter and this plane cannot fly fast enough Unencumbered daughter hit the ground running at last! I'd invite you but I'm busy being unoppressed |

The missle sent today killed only 3
The rest were saved, they're far enough away To not really feel the direct effect on me They caught him today Based ridicuolusly on his race They weren't sure he even did it But they needed a random face Chorus All these symptoms, symptoms of a simpler cause I've had moments in my life when I've contributed by believing we are Seperate, we are seperate Dissconnected in this unity He won today, smug self-satisfaction on his face He blew the others out of the water He said and was glad they were disgraced Chorus He stole what he could He only had minutes before he'd be caught He justified every penny taken by blaming the gap between the rich and rich not Chorus |
