I never wanted to live a better life

The only thing I want

The only thing I want

Is simply the lifting of the peoples’ strife

I never wanted for you to give me rights

The only thing I want

The only thing I want

Is simply leaving the living world in flight

———

And I’ve seen how peoples’ minds can crack

But I’ve seen soil that should be black

Stained deep red right there before my eyes

You don’t know the depth of our lies

———

So I beg please stop this fake democracy

The only thing I want

The only thing I want

Is for all your children to be truly free

So I beg please stop this hoping and praying

The only thing I want

The only thing I want

Is for all these problems to be decaying

———

And I’ve seen how peoples’ minds can crack

But I’ve seen soil that should be black

Stained deep red right there before my eyes

You don’t know the depth of our lies

———

I’m just horrified

And I just can’t say why

It’s best that you don’t know

So please don’t tell me no

I’m so horrified

These tears I cannot cry

Just please don’t say my name

And don’t mess with my aim

———

And I’ve seen how peoples’ minds can crack

But I’ve seen soil that should be black

Stained deep red right there before my eyes

You don’t know the depth of our lies253Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMw1EKhg1MS
