lyrics
Let me interrupt you
for just a second,
'cuz my sense of hypocrisy is second nature,
and your censorship
sounds like an awful bad case
of suburbia
suffocating my freedom.
There’s nothing left.
(Hold my breath) I can scream through silence.
(With eyes closed) I see through double standards.
(Open heart) Releasing my aggression.
(Let it go) Allow your mind to wander.
Protecting your children’s precious
ears from the pointed words in media.
But daddy uses these words
a hundred times a day and
one little profanity gets you going like a toaster in a bathtub.
You're so detached!
And when did you
become so concerned with the way I express myself?
I’m fucking glad if what I say gets a rise out of you
it’s supposed to!!!
LET GO!!!
