[My Vehement Protest For Life] ©
Corruption surround me
Enveloped in mental torment
False concern all around but I can’t pretend
I grew up learning that
Faces hidden behind masks
Agony buried deep down every heart
Suppressed emotions ready to blow
Lest the ugly truth show
You’re not the same person I thought I knew
Hyperventilation – I’m outta breath
I can’t catch up, you’re far ahead
Unscrupulous means you claimed cool
I feel nothing but contempt for you
Ain’t giving up and getting on with life a realistic move?
Life I not about ups and downs
It’s about dollars and pounds
To hell with Caesar and curse politics
Listen up all you tabloid critics
The rampant scandal ain’t good to poor Britney
You have no right at all to be mocking
We need freedom and space for creativity
Return us our lives so that we can start dreamin’
Life truly is a stage
Thwarted ambitions, reality screwed
What d’ya call a negative approach
