I Can't Be

from Interlude by Sarah Lightman

lyrics

I can’t be
I can’t be Fit me in a box and tie me with a ribbon Throw a dress on me and drink until the room is spinning Can’t believe they pay to be on this merry go round Go on and water me down and say I’m out of my mind I can’t do this or that without committing a crime So I smile and laugh just to hide the fact That I’m drowning inside

Cause they’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down They’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down They’re breaking breakin breakin breaking me down

I can’t be who I’m not meant to be What they all want to see no no And I can’t be somebody’s property Just a commodity with no soul I said no...no no...no nooooo

Gotta stay in school and follow the rest Don’t think for yourself and you’ll pass the test Better listen to us cause we know what’s best for you But you’re damned if you do and shamed if you don’t Play by the rules, and keep your head low Till you finally see it’s all a rigged reality show

They’ll keep dumbin da dumbin dumbin dumbin you down They dumbin da dumbin dumbin you down They’ll dumbin da dumbin dumbin you down
