Put it all on a postcard
Get it off in the mail
Get a six page letter
Systems always fail
Out on good behavior
Carries the scars
Smock on the cider
Left behind bars
Laughing at the camera
She makes shadows with the light
Addresses the pages
You I don't think she likes
She looks and she talks and she acts like
Her parents conditioned her to
She said she'd hold on no longer
[Chorus]
It's not time now
Can't they wait until she's older
Because the right thing is
To take this weight down off her shoulders
Muzzled by militia
The conservative kind
We're just here to help you redirect your mind
And they push and they pull and they hurt like
The Tether conditioned them to
Mediocrity's found its servants
[Chorus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah ...
