作曲:David Paul
I think you'll know exactly just what I mean
It shouldn't take too long for you to agree
That what I have gone through isn't that far removed
From the victims of our own penitentiaries
Way to admit that I broke a few rules
That I crossed the line when I needed to
When the value of life is too much to resist
I can't stand by just to watch it slip
When the system we've come to rely on
Becomes impossible
To keep track of
Everything that I need is in front of me
How can I be expected to say no
And deny myself of the right to exist is a life I hold
Dear not a for the list
I can feel inside when I'm alright
I won't be forced to lay down and die
I'm sure you're wondering what exactly have I done
It should be no surprise to you so let's just move on
Because if you're like me you've also fallen deep
Into the powers of our volatile society
I'm not afraid to admit that I broke a few rules
That I crossed the line when I needed to
When the value of life is too much to resist
When the system we've come to rely on
Becomes impossible
To keep track of
Everything that I need is in front of me
How can I be expected to say no
And deny myself all the right to exist is a life I hold
Dear not a fit for the list I can feel inside
When I'm wrong or right
I won't be forced to lay down and die
In a perfect world I have nothing to fear
But I'm sure you'd agree
It's too ** up to heal
When the system we've come to rely on
Becomes impossible
To keep track of everything that I need
Is in front of me
How can I be expected to say no
And deny myself of the right to exist is a life I hold
Dear not a fit for the list I can feel inside
When I'm wrong or right
I won't be forced to lay down and die
