silhouettes above the cradle hold me down
they wont let me go the wrong way
my mother taught me all the fables, told me how
in the end all the sinners have to pay
but...
i dont wanna live like my mother
i dont wanna let fear rule my life
and i dont wanna live like my father
i dont wanna give up before i die
he worked so hard his bones are breaking
he wore them down but long ago he lost the feeling
his good intentions leave me shaking, show me how
i dont ever want to end up like he did
and...
when i have kids
i wont put any chains on their wrists, i wont
ill tell them this
theres nothing in this world that you cant be if you want it enough
