So wrapped up in the system
Prisoner of the government
fall into a brainwashed state
you’re just a number in their eyes
Selfrighteous Bastards live for greed
never caring about society
fear the future what it holds?
Guess who pays the final price
never run from the system,
face it strong, standing proud
never let them take control
uphold your words and don’t back downChristine Lavin
"Replaced"
I have been replaced in your life. Why am I surprised?
I'm the one who walked away; you're the one who cried.
Now I hear that you've recovered; I should be relieved.
Instead I hide under the covers at night; I dream in black and white,
Second guess my every move, try not to think of you.
Because I have been replaced in your life, a blow to my pride.
It's been just a couple of months since we were side by side.
Now I see that you go strolling by with someone else,
While I continue on alone heading for parts unknown,
Making solitary plans, braving the storms the best I can.
If it's true that women mourn while men replace,
Who's the stronger? Who's the weaker? Why should it matter in any case?
I have been replaced in your life; the turning of the tides
Has washed away your heartache, opened mine up wide.
Now I feel an old familiar hurt from years ago
And I know I've gone through this before, a different battle, a distant war.
When the odd man out evens the score, it leaves you craving just a little bit
more.
I have been replaced,
I have been replaced,
I have been replaced in your life.
I have been replaced in your life.
