about

I wrote this after reading John Steinbeck's novel The Moon is Down. The flies have conquered the flypaper.

lyrics

And I believed everything that they taught me then
I raised my hand, I never criticized, I never played the clown
And all the lessons that they took from me
were bruises on my weary, wounded empathy
that I always shouted down

my weary, wounded empathy
that I always shouted down

CHORUS
Now I am different, I can't turn off the frightening
they see me coming, and it's thunder and lightning
and deep inside me, I know I am still human
but it gets deeper down every day

Sometimes I wonder what they see when they see me
I put on that helmet and I take off my identity
and I just wanted to make my mama proud of me
dear lord I pray each night, never let my mama see what I've seen

CHORUS

and it ain't nothing personal
that's what bothers me the most

and I believed everything that they taught me then
