"Society" lyrics - ALICE PHOEBE LOU

ALICE PHOEBE LOU
"Society"

Oh, he stands in front of me
And he's staring manically
Screaming
Oh society, what have you done to me?

The ground I've tread so many years
All this blood and sweat and tears

Just to be inside your mould
And do just what I'm told
If only I had been so bold
But now my body's getting old
And time is oh so golden
If only it could be frozen

But you took it away from me
Oh society
You took it away from me
Oh my liberty

Oh you took it away from me
Oh society
You took it away from me

When you brainwashed me with formulas of how I should be
Shaped me and raped me of my individuality
Schooled me and fooled me
Told me what I could and could not see
Took me and shook me
Of my urges to be free
