Bad Wisdom
Mother, the doctor knows something is wrong'Cause my body has strange informationHe's looked in my eyes and knows I'm not a childBut he doesn't dare ask the right question.
Mother, my friends are no longer my friendsAnd the games we once played have no meaningI've gone serious and shy and they can't figure whySo they've left me to my own daydreaming.

Mother, you've taught me the laws are so fineIf I'm good that I will be protectedI've fallen through the crack and there's no getting backAnd I'll never trust whoever gets elected.
Mother your eyes have gone suddenly coldAnd it wasn't what I was expectingOnce I did think that I'd find comfort thereAnd instead you've gone hard and suspecting.

Mother, I'm cut at the root like a weed'Cause there's no one to hear my small storyJust like a woman who walks in the streetI will pay for my life with my body.
