lyrics

I can't believe in it
if it can't believe in me
please stop indulging me
with images of what I don't want to be
I said no, but no just turns you on
it's an evil trick you've built for yourself
take what you want then leave it broken on the floor
like a burnt-out lightbulb you can't use anymore

She believes, though she doesn't know
that she doesn't know what's best for herself
how to reconcile what you've always known in your bones
with the ambience of a culture in which you'll never feel at home
It teaches you and it teaches me and we teach each other
to quiet our desires and submit to a higher power
it's make-believe and they'll make you bleed til you agree
that domination is the force that moves the world
And it teaches you and it teaches me and we teach each other
guilt and shame and no connection, and it's too late to change direction
it teaches you and it teaches me and we teach each other
and when we get close we still feel far from one another

There are no higher authorities
There is no need to heed the majority
There are no higher authorities
You are your own
