just the thought of our bed makes me crumble like the plaster where you punched the wall beside my head and i try to draw the line but it ends up running down the middle of me most of the time boys get locked up in some prison girls get locked up in some house and it don't matter if it's a warden or a lover or a spouse you just can't talk to 'em you just can't reason you just can't leave and you just can't please 'em i was locked into being my mother's daughter i was just eating bread and water thinking nothing ever changes and i was shocked to see the mistakes of each generation will just fade like a radio station if you drive out of range if you're not angry you're just stupid or you don't care how else can you react when you know something's so unfair the men of the hour can kill half the world in war make them slaves to a super power and let them die poor i was locked into being my mother's daughter i was just eating bread and water thinking nothing ever changes and i was shocked to see the mistakes of each generation will just fade like a radio station if you drive out of range just the thought of our bed makes me crumble like the plaster where you punched the wall beside my head and i try to draw the line but it ends up running down the middle of me most of the time baby i love you that's why i'm leaving there's no talking to you and there's no pleasing you and i care enough that i'm mad that half the world don't even know what they could have had i was locked into being my mother's daughter i was just eating bread and water thinking nothing ever changes and i was shocked to see the mistakes of each generation will just fade like a radio station if you drive out of range
