Disclaimer: I don't own Squid, unfortunately. But how happy I would be if I did. The song is WE ARE by Ana Johnsson. I don't own that neither....
I wish you could see me now
See the devil on the doorstep now (my oh my)
Telling everybody oh just how to live their lives
Sliding down the information highway
Buying in just like a bunch of fools
Time is ticking and we can't go back (my oh my)
Out here, dirty, tired, worn out
You'd probably laugh, wouldn't you
You'd sneer and say "serves you right, ya accident"
Well, Mama, I'ma buildin' character out here in the hot hot sun all day
More than any of us can say fer you
What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We've never been so many
And we've never been so alone
You, in the house, drinkin' yer life away
You used to be a real beauty, dincha, Mama?
A real high class lady
But now, yer sittin' in the kitchin
Drinkin, an' smokin
And I can't do a God Damned thing about it
And it drives me to the edge
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are
I remember when you used to hit me
When you used to make me cry
'Cause I was...Insolent
Well, Mama, did it ever occur to you
That Daddy left on account of you?
Maybe you drove 'im away Mama
Maybe he didn't wanna see you yell at me no more
So he up'n left, just like that.
One step forward making two steps back (my oh my)
Riding piggy on the bad boys back for life
Lining up for the grand illusion
No answers for no questions asked
Lining up for the execution
Without knowing why
And then when I broke into them houses
'Cause you stopped feedin' me
You lied to the judge, you did.
You told 'im you didn't know where you went wrong wid me
Well, I can tell you
The beatin's, the yellin', you and Daddy fightin' more'n cats and dogs
And you don't give a shit, do ya?
You keep watching from your picket fence
You keep talking but it makes no sense
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are
You wash your hands and come out clean
Fail to recognise the enemies within
You say we're not responsible
But we are, we are, we are, we are
And then you brought HIM home
The man who ruined our lives
You told me we could trust him
He hurt you, and stole our money
And you blamed me
'Course you did, nothin's your fault
Ever
I learned that when I was little
It's all about power then
Take control
Breaking the rule
Breaking the soul
They suck us dry till there's nothing left
My oh my, my oh my
What about the world today
What about the place that we call home
We' ve never been so many
And we've never been so alone....
So alone
Well, Mama, I hope yer ears are burnin, cause I'ma talkin' bout you
And it ain't nothin' good...
