Can You Label Me, 'Fucked
Up'?
words by loRelei
So say we cheat in this game of life
So say we take this supposed 'easy way out'?
Just cause you cheat doesn't mean you'll always
win
But we still don't know what the rules are all about
So we dye our hair different than yours?
So we paint or nails different colors?
Does that give you the right to define who the hell
we are?
You never even knew me from the start!
Do you think we care?
Insult us if you dare!
Tell me everything you love
And tell me the reason why.
Tell me why you hate
And tell me why you try.
Do you people give a damn about anyone else?
All I hear is what you think of yourself.
Can't you see
He's not always happy?
That secret he keeps
Is why he cries when he sleeps
Did you ever take another
Look at her?
She's not okay
That's for sure.
Watch her sigh
Everytime you walk by.
Tell me everything you love
Tell me the reason why
Tell me why you hate
And tell me why you try.
You know, everytime I see you
I wanna look in your face
But i keep my eyes down
Cause it feels like you don't care.
I'm scared to say
How difficult it is to bear...
Oh I know...
So adults...you wish to take us over, too?
So adults...you supposedly know what's best for us.
Do you?
So let's look at the subject everyone avoids...
Could we ever be happy?
Oh they know, oh we don't know
Oh they know, oh we don't know
Oh they know, oh we don't know
I don't know! I don't know!
.....
...
..
.
Tell me everything you love
Tell me the reason why.
Tell me the way you hate
And tell me why you try
Oh what do I know
Oh what do we know
Oh well what do you know?
So say we cheat in this game of life.
Well, hell! I ain't no crystal ball!
