Curled on the ground and laid as I cried
The one from the womb wished I'd never had life
A punch in the face Or a kick in the groin
I learned to hate myself this way
It's not ok, no it's never ok
I'm pushing back, not offense, oh no never again
Its not ok, it's never ok and I have this voice
I have a voice
And you can go down, and look st the faces
Surrender to anger, surrender to hatred
And I learned self worth can only be measured but the way that you look out at this world
It's not my fault no it's never my fault
It's not ok, no it's never ok
I'm pushing back, not offense, oh no never again
Its not my fault, it's never your fault and I have this voice
I have a voice, even if I've never used it before

"It's not my fault," that's your safety net you're an American
"It must have been someone else" you're swearing that it must have been
And what is wrong with telling everyone the truth, what happened to you?
Well I wish that it weren't true
An American victim closing both of your eyes to see
An American victim your perversions of reality
You're the sum total of all your parts but you lack the brain and don't have the heart to change
Isn't it convenient convenient how everyone is there for you
Yet something inside you says that it's ok to try and waste it?
This country was built on all the things like hatred of innocence and the weak
It's what they taught
I learned it from mom and dad and the kids at school
I learned its cool to think its cool to lie and cheat and do anything
An american victim, an American victim, an American victim
And no one else can change except for you

Without an accurate depiction of history life is fiction
No chance to learn mistakes remade, we're keeping ourselves down
It's the way that we want things; this shelter and comfort ability
Behind a wall of truth we hide, tell lies, a ruthless heart from the start
So why don't you grow up and accept that you have flaws?
I see them in your face.
How long can this go on? I'm going nowhere fast
How long can I go on repeating mistakes from the past
I said so long to my last job and wasted every day I could
Repeated everything I said when I was young and dumb just a stupid kid
Without a clue or a brain to keep it in, and now I find that I'm doomed to repeat my life
Over and over again
So put up the white flag and allow for some change
Give into the fact that you might not know anything at all
When that day comes I'm hoping that you'll find things as they are
And accept them and move on
Take these things to alter yourself
Or you are doomed to repeat your life

Think of it this way our aim is to make the world more beautiful than it was
When we came into it
It can be done and you can do it you.l ask how just love yourself and make your instrument sing about it
I feel the weight on my chest as I try to change the world
I need to get out from under myself
Look around all their needs will suck me down, I'll just agree
Come down here with us, so nice down here with us
I sit alone at a job with people bemoaning their lot
I sit alone as I watch a million same faces go no place at all
And maybe nothing can be said when they've already dropped their head to the ground and refuse to look around
t can be done and you can do it you.l ask how just love yourself and make your instrument sing about
I sing alone and walk down the street I'm blind to scrutinizing thoughts
I sing alone in the dark and sit for sleep to pick me up
And maybe nothing can be said when they've already dropped their head to the ground and refuse to look around
I sing alone
